In this first presentation of our four-part series, facilitated by Darleen Pryds, we will look at the final years of Francis’ life, when his spiritual conversion reached completion. In this series, we will reflect on the process of ongoing conversion in our own lives by using stories from Francis’ life.
On January 4, Franciscans, especially the Third Order, both Secular and Regular, celebrate the memory of the great mystic, Saint Angela of Foligno (c. 1248–1309).
On January 3, we observe the feast of the Holy Name of Jesus, a devotion especially dear to Franciscans.
Christmas was such a special feast for Saint Francis because it reveals so vividly the deepest mystery of God: that our God totally empties self in the person of Jesus to share our frail humanity.
On December 15, Franciscans, especially Secular Franciscans and Third Order Regular congregations, honor the memory of Blessed Mary Frances Schervier (1819–1876).
