On November 27, 2024, Prof. Martín Carbajo Núñez delivered a talk to Franciscan friars in formation in San Antonio, Texas (USA). The topic (""So that they might have life". The Later Rule of St. Francis") focused on the Rule of St. Francis, known as the Regula bullata. Prof. Carbajo argued that this Later Rule, one of the four foundational Rules for consecrated life, holds significant inspirational power in today’s secularized society. He highlighted that it is not merely a legal document but also a spiritual guide, offering a way “to live according to the pattern of the Holy Gospel.”
