Franciscan Spirit

God loves us as we are and is willing to help us grow beyond our faults and failings.

St. Francis looked around at the church and he began to repair the building, stone by stone. Pope Francis understands this metaphor.

We want Jesus’ depth and graciousness in our own lives. Like Jesus’ disciples, we also know we can attain this only through prayer.

For whom could you be an angel? Today, try to reach out in some small way to one person.

St. Francis of Assisi was an activist, pacifist, and prophet. In our own small ways, we can mirror his revolutionary spirit.

We are all in the Almighty's hands. This should remind us that God is not distant from us.
