"Let the brothers in no way receive, arrange to receive, seek, or arrange to seek money for leper colonies or coins for any house or place; and let them not accompany anyone begging money or coins for such places. However, the brothers can perform for those places other services not contrary to our life with the blessing of God. Nevertheless, the brothers can beg for alms for a manifest need of the lepers. But let them beware of money. Similarly, let all the brothers be careful of going throughout the world for filthy gain." [1]
