A Rose by Any Other Name
If you’ve ever donated to Franciscan Media, chances are you received a beautiful, handwritten thank-you note from our own Sister Rose Lima, OSF. She’s such a blessing—and an important part of our mission to spread the Gospel in the spirit of Saint Francis. In this week’s Franciscan Spirit Video, Sister Rose shares with us how she embraced her religious name.
Am I a Christian Full-Time?
I ask myself: Am I a Christian by fits and starts, or am I a Christian full-time? Our culture of the ephemeral, the relative, also takes its toll on the way we live our faith. God asks us to be faithful to him, daily, in our everyday life. He goes on to say that, even if we are sometimes unfaithful to him, he remains faithful. In his mercy, he never tires of stretching out his hand to lift us up, to encourage us to continue our journey, to come back and tell him of our weakness, so that he can grant us his strength.
