Christopher Meyer

In Francis’ final gift of poverty, he returned his mortal body to dust what was dust and to God what was God’s.

In the “Canticle,” Francis expresses a way of life, an inner attitude in which he learned to stand before God and to face life itself.

Francis embraced the Gospel and challenged the difficulties of his time: faith, church, and society. In our difficult time, it is now ours to do. 

It’s been over a week since the mass shootings in El Paso, Texas, and Dayton, Ohio. How do we heal from these unspeakable tragedies? Brother Christopher has some words of comfort to help us in that journey.
