The following is an excerpt from Franciscan Media’s interview with Garrett Galvin, OFM, the president of the Franciscan School of Theology, for Ep. 7 of our Off the Page Podcast.
As the Word dwells in the human person, so, too, the same Word dwells in creation.
There weren’t ecologists in the Middle Ages, at least by our modern understanding of environmentalism. But St. Francis changed all that with a new vision of creation as a reflection of God’s love and the Incarnation.
St. Francis established three different Orders. The first one is for the friars; the second is for nuns, such as the Poor Clares; and the third is the Secular Franciscan Order.
Let us pray, let us always pray in the serenity of our faith and with tranquility of soul.
Do not be in doubt about receiving divine assistance, and do not lean on yourself to deal with these multiple afflictions that constantly surround you.
Let your whole life be spent in self-surrender, in prayer, in work, in humility, in giving thanks to our good God.
