Franciscan Spirituality

Each path Francis took on his journey to God led him to a single action: praise of God.

Will you choose to live with less so you can love more? Will you trust that joy is not something to chase but something to welcome in the present moment? 

We cannot find peace in chaos. In the noise and violence that surround us in this country every day, covering our ears and eyes is easy.

May we seek to adopt an imaginative and prayerful stance toward an abundant reality. May creativity help us to mine that reality and heighten our awareness of grace.

The majority of the healing encounters in the Gospels are initiated by the person who desires healing.

Will we see our pets and other creatures in the next life? Only God can answer a question like this.
