Franciscan Spirit

Venerable Marthe Robin: “It seems to me that I am no more than a very tiny thing in the arms of God, and that I will remain so until I die. I do not know what He wants to do ...

Louis Massignon: “Man is not made for works of external mercy, but first of all to worship the divine Guest in his heart, in the present moment.”

Eve Lavalliere: “I thank You, O my God, that You have given me shelter beneath your roof. Abandonment, love, trust—such is my motto.”

Father Daniel Egan: “If we had the vision of faith, we would see beneath every behavior—no matter how repulsive.”​​​​​​​

Blessed Angela Salawa: “Lord, I live by your will. I shall die when you desire. Save me because you can.”

There are some saints who were so immersed in prayer that their feet literally left the ground. While amazing, this is by no means unique.
