Francis always mentioned humility in the same breath with poverty.

The Holy Spirit is not an extra in Christian holiness. Rather the sending of the Spirit is the completing of the entire beautiful plan of God to share his Life with us.

The Spirit of God’s love lives in us. Our lives are holy and secure in Christ.

In his simple wisdom, Francis saw poverty and humility as twins. We are absolutely dependent on God for all things: that is humility.

Conversion is the ongoing process of learning to live the gospel way of life given to us by Jesus and revealed to us by Francis and Clare.

“Sin directs the heart of the wicked man;
his eyes are closed to the fear of God.” (Psalm 36:2)

Each one of us is embraced with God’s love. This union is not dependent on whether we worship God or even know God exists.
