St. Francis of Assisi

How do we center ourselves in the love of God? Clare’s answer is simple and disarming: Become poor.

To know God is to know the human person since the mystery of God is the human person.

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.

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.
