Franciscan Spirit

Our life journeys will have twists and turns. But we never walk it alone.

Francis dreamed of glory on the battlefield. He got his wish—in a sense. He became a knight of Christ and “the herald of the great King.”

Clinging to something that does not bring us life means clinging to our sure death.

When we don’t turn away from our own suffering and declare it unworthy of compassion, consolation, and love, we learn to recognize pain rather than run from it.

Meditation is a widely practiced, little-understood discipline. And it's especially needed now.

Let's reset our lives! Refocus and restore priorities that continually serve our physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being.
