Franciscan Spirituality

God led Francis in and through the depths of suffering to come to know Christ.

Francis was as much subject to self-doubt as any of us. His motives were purified in prayer; his ego became right-sized there.

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

It is true that St. Francis, with his whole heart, wanted to imitate his Lord and Master.

It is our Christian belief that when Christ, the Incarnate Word, came to dwell among us, we entered a whole new era of God’s saving presence in our world.
