Variety: Luke 9:1-6

1 When Jesus had called the Twelve together, he gave them power and authority to drive out all demons and to cure diseases, 2 and he sent them out to proclaim the kingdom of God and to heal those who were ill. 3 He told them: ‘Take nothing for the journey – no staff, no bag, no bread, no money, no extra shirt. 4 Whatever house you enter, stay there until you leave that town. 5 If people do not welcome you, leave their town and shake the dust off your feet as a testimony against them.’ 6 So they set out and went from village to village, proclaiming the good news and healing people everywhere.

St Francis of Assisi believed that “humans tend to live themselves into new ways of thinking more than think themselves into new ways of living”
Since Jesus himself was humble and poor, Francis made the pure and simple imitation of Jesus his life’s agenda. 
In fact, he often did it in an almost absurdly literal way. 
He was a fundamentalist—not about doctrinal Scriptures—but about lifestyle Scriptures
