For 20 years, this global ministry has combined physical labor and spiritual formation to rebuild lives, communities, and the Church itself.

When the pandemic has forced most churches to limit their congregations to prevent the spread of the coronavirus, may we remember that we are still the Church not dependent upon a building to meet on Sundays.

St. Anthony of Padua, that Hammer of Heretics, serves as a model to me that I am to preach against any dualism within myself that blocks an openness to beauty.

We live in a broken reality, and a lot of times there isn’t anything we can do to fix it. This helplessness that we feel is a natural part of navigating this broken world.

Arguably no Franciscan theologian has bridged science and religion quite like Sister Ilia Delio, OSF.

Despite his many mistakes St. Peter displayed incredible heart. He felt deeply. He loved deeply. He was always eager and willing to follow Jesus, even if he sometimes failed.

Sometimes the demands that are placed upon us fuel expectations that mysteriously bind themselves to us. May this prayer inspire you to release the narratives and enjoy the gifts and grace of the day.
