IRON & INCENSE -THE URBAN FRIAR RULE
1. Pray Daily
Even when tired.
Even when numb.
Return to God honestly.
2. Stay Honest
No masks.
No hidden double life.
Truth brings freedom.
3. Serve the Poor and Forgotten
Feed people.
Listen well.
Walk with those on the margins.
4. Brotherhood Over Isolation
No man walks alone.
Healing happens in community.
5. Rest Before Exhaustion
Exhaustion feeds darkness.
Rest is part of spiritual discipline.
6. Travel Light
Consume less.
Carry less.
Live simply.
7. Confess Quickly
Do not let shame grow in secret.
8. Eat With Others
The table is sacred.
Food, conversation, and presence matter.
9. Keep Christ at the Centre
Not image.
Not ministry success.
Not performance.
Christ.
10. Walk in Mercy
Toward others.
Toward yourself.
Toward the wounded world.
