Summary/Abstract: In the article, the author theologically reconstructs the understanding of work as seen by Francis of Assisi. He does this by using the historical method of direct fact-finding and the theological method of reflecting on Poverello’s spiritual experience as re- corded in the first two Franciscan rules, the writings of the first hagiographers of the Poverello, and the texts of Francis’ recognized commentators. The issue described is covered in four paragraphs: (1) Work understood as God’s grace; (2) Motivation to work; (3) Remuneration for work; (4) Gratuity of work.
