Franciscan Spirit

It is good to celebrate those moments where companionship around the table becomes a form of communion, where fantastic food seals friendships, where our vitality and our spirituality truly “wine and dine” together.

Amy Heyd spoke with Franciscan Media about food, faith, and family gatherings during the holidays.

It is during challenging times that a circle of grace is formed, if a healthy perspective, gratitude, and happiness are cultivated.

The history of our faith provides examples of rule breakers to show us a better way to holiness, even if it is the road less traveled.

“In His will is our peace,” sing the saints in Dante’s Divine Comedy. We cannot, however, truly be at peace unless we allow our conversion to God’s ways to be open-ended.
