Franciscan Faith Sharing - Advent Series

To foster faith sharing among the Franciscan family and engagement with our Franciscan intellectual-spiritual tradition, CFIT has developed a series of short videos for use during Advent.

Each video “opens up” three books: the book of life experience, Sacred Scripture, and our Franciscan tradition, emphasizing the Franciscan intellectual tradition and contemporary Franciscan experiences.

The videos are less than 10 minutes long and are accompanied by questions designed to prompt reflection and sharing of our experience as Franciscans. They are designed to encourage fraternal faith sharing, and we hope that Franciscan communities will take advantage of them.

Darleen Pryds

Associate Professor of Christian Spirituality and History

Darleen Pryds specializes in the Medieval Franciscan Tradition (Lay Franciscans and the Third Order, Lay Preaching, Mysticism) and the Spirituality of Dying and Death. Her focus on lay Franciscans has analyzed the tradition of lay preaching as a form of “Somatic Theology,” or theology expressed through lived experience.
