The Least of These

Diane M. Houdek February 22, 2021

We have an obligation as Christians to make sure we don’t settle for having merely our own needs met.

We are Franciscan Media, a sponsored ministry of the Franciscan Friars of Our Lady of Guadalupe Province. We strive to inspire a loving world that embraces the Franciscan spirit of harmony, joy, and simplicity. May our resources renew your spirit as we share God’s love in the spirit of St. Francis and St. Clare.
