Franciscan Spirituality

Humans do not have the patience or the humility of God.

Everything is sacred. The entire creation, including every person, is a sacrament of God.

Among all the voices that surround and beckon us, we need to discern the unique cadence of God’s voice.

To describe God as “humble” may seem outrageous or even scandalous. Who could stake one’s life on a humble God?

All of us are invited to be rich soil for God’s word, and all of us have become rich soil in baptism.

The simplest way to describe God’s poverty and humility is in terms of love. Love gives itself away—this is God’s poverty.
