Franciscan Spirituality

February 20, 2021 @ 1:00 pm - 2:30 pm

Facilitated by Fr. Bob Marva, OFM Cap.

While many religious orders take very structured approaches – such as the Benedictine Rule or the Jesuits’ Ignatian Exercises and Examen – the Franciscans take a much simpler and fundamental approach, focusing on the gospels as the ultimate guide for living. Join us as we learn how St. Francis relied on the words of Jesus to direct every aspect of his life, from relying on the gospels for spiritual nourishment to following its directives in taking action in the world

$15
