Franciscan Spirituality

Clare’s name means “light.” She is the bright, shining one who reflected God’s love into the world.

It is not a matter of “carrying God inside us.” That would be too mechanical. It’s better to say that we are filled with God’s presence within us—along with our weaknesses and imperfections.

Jesus is with us now and assures us he will not leave us orphans.

The answer God promises to give to you or me will be unique to each of us.

From the depth of St. Francis' relationship with God, he intuited a profound understanding of the human ego.

It is our job to keep the work of the Catholic saints going as heirs to the tradition.
