Franciscan Spirituality

Have you ever stopped to marvel at how amazingly unique you are?

I have learned that the plan of God is much more exciting than anything I ever could have fashioned for myself.

Fear is crippling. It has prevented me from doing so many things.

It is my presumption that Francis and his brothers became living gospels the same way we do, by walking in the footsteps of Christ, which is a gradual, ongoing pilgrimage.

This mystery of gospel poverty is the great desire of Francis’s heart and soul because it is the mystery of Christ, who is being born within Francis as Francis dies to himself to become like Christ.
