Find what you’re looking for
Today we celebrate a saint who was never canonized and who wanted to live in solitude and prayer. Saint Bruno was a Carthusian monk who took great steps to find a quiet place to live in spite of being asked to assist the Pope in Rome.
Jesus continues to teach his followers about prayer–an important element of discipleship. We need to be persistent in prayer not for the sake of informing God of our needs, but to train ourselves to expect and appreciate what God does for us.
These events in St. Francis’ life brought him closer to Christ.
Our brothers and sisters can be some of the greatest blessings in our life, but can also cause pain. Reach out to your sibling(s) simply to let them know that you love and care for them.
A sister of Our Lady of Mercy, Saint Maria Faustina Kowalska was blessed with unique messages from Christ concerning his mercy and forgiveness. These messages came at a time when many people viewed God as a strict judge.
Both versions of the Lord’s Prayer teach us how we are to address God, but also describe the kind of God we are to address. He is a father who forgives and expects his children to be forgiving.
He was only forty-five years old when he died, but he left behind a Dream to dream and a Journey to challenge everyone.
In poverty, Francis of Assisi found the greatest of riches.
Francis of Assisi once told a cardinal, “The Lord has told me that he wanted to make a new fool of me.” We all want to look good, but Francis is showing us another way.
Saint Francis of Assisi: founder of the Franciscan family, Patron Saint of ecology, inspiration to thousands, claimed by people of all faiths as well as by those with no particular faith, a truly “catholic and apostolic man.” Though born in the 13th century, he belongs to all ages.
