Friar

A friar is a member of one of the mendicant orders founded since the twelfth or thirteenth century; the term distinguishes the mendicants' itinerant apostolic character, exercised broadly under the jurisdiction of a superior general, from the older monastic orders' allegiance to a single monastery formalized by their vow of stability. The most significant orders of friars are the Dominicans, Franciscans, Augustinians and Carmelites.

Definition

Friars are different from monks in that they are called to live the evangelical counsels (vows of poverty, chastity and obedience) in service to society, rather than through cloistered asceticism and devotion. Whereas monks live in a self-sufficient community, friars work among laypeople and are supported by donations or other charitable support. A monk or nun makes their vows and commits to a particular community in a particular place. Friars commit to a community spread across a wider geographical area known as a province, and so they will typically move around, spending time in different houses of the community within their province.

    The Highway Song

    by: Free

    So we started in the cornfield
    And I know we did not slack
    We got everything in order
    But we forgot to bring the bucket back
    The foreman he went crazy
    And ran around the field
    Said we must be lazy
    Had to be seen to be believed
    Seen to be believed.
    But it was a long way
    From this highroad
    It was a far away from here.
    The farmer had a daughter
    And she worked at the wishing well
    Put one leg in the water
    'til she found the mission bell
    The old man went crazy
    And ran to get his gun
    We had a bad time explaining
    We were just having drunken fun
    Just having drunken fun.
    But it was a long way
    From this high road, Oh!
    It was a long way from here
    So we walked along this road
    Just tellin' stories as we go
    We just walk along.
    Well the farmer had a daughter
    And she did not speak a word
    We used to kiss her in the orchard
    Till one morning we were overheard
    The old man he went crazy
    Running around the field
    Said we must be crazy
    Had to be seen to be believed
