Franciscan Spirituality

As Christians, the beauty of the beatitudes is that they remind us that this world is not our home.

Throughout this canticle, we have seen how Francis saw God’s goodness, radiance and beauty in all creatures.

Not everyone is called to be a professed Franciscan. But everyone is called to be Franciscan.

This week, who can you speak out for? How can you use your voice to defend the poor and needy? 

St. Francis of Assisi understood the spiritual and psychological toll that life could bring.

“And to this poverty, my beloved brothers, you must cling with all your heart, and wish never to have anything else under heaven.”
