Catholic Saints

In his Letter to the Whole Order, Saint Francis writes...

Love God and do as you will, says St. Augustine, for love is its own commandment.

The spirituality of St. Francis is not so much about the heroic deed as it is about the heroic love with which even the smallest deed is done.

That total abandonment to God would be Josephine’s legacy—and it is one we can work toward as 21st-century Catholics.

Sometimes we resist conversion to the Lord’s way because we fear giving it full freedom will shrink our world, will make us more closed in.
