Today, I will observe the law of love. That love will strengthen me to do what is right and just in all the areas of my life.

Healing the Wounds of America

Daniel Imwalle July 4, 2023

When we reconcile with each other, we bind ourselves to each other and reaffirm the inherent value and dignity of the other person.

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.
