Francis and Clare of Assisi and the Cross with Open Eyes
The Franciscan School of Theology hosts a variety of lectures from world-class theologians across the globe in this unique series.
Fr. Michael reveals how gazing on an image as a contemplative form of prayer can have the ability to transform our hearts. For Francis and Clare, that image was the Cross and in particular a Cross that has Christ with open eyes.
