Pause+Pray

Make a donation of time, talent, or treasure to an organization or cause that helped you when you needed it most.

What would it look like to consider resting in your inherent union with the divine in the unknown, in the proverbial desert, and in the tension?

At the core of Franciscan leadership lies a deep commitment to the well-being and dignity of all people—a recognition that every decision we make must be guided by the principles of justice, mercy, and love.

We can’t plug in an address or GPS coordinates as we walk the path of prayer. But God’s goodness and grace are always drawing us forth, the way ahead lit by love.

The next time you have the opportunity to watch a storm, consider the ways it reminds you of God.

Strengthen me to do what I can, Lord. Help me to accept my limitations and give you the glory with what this poor body can do in your service.
