Franciscan Spirituality

If you look closely at Christ on the San Damiano Cross, as painted on this cross, you will see that it is neither a bloody body nor one twisted in anguish.

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

The saints lived lives marked by the promise of liberation that Jesus brings forth through his life, death, and resurrection.

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

Humility is the guardian and the ornament of all virtues. If the spiritual building does not rest upon it, it will fall to ruin, though it seems to be growing.
