Francescan Spirituality

Franciscan spirituality is rooted in the teachings and example of St. Francis of Assisi, emphasizing simplicity, humility, and a deep connection with nature and all living beings. It promotes a life of poverty and service, reflecting love for God through the care of creation and compassion for the marginalized. Key elements include community, peace, and stewardship of the earth. Franciscans believe in seeing the divine in all aspects of life and engaging in active love, focusing on the importance of relationships, both human and environmental, as a path to spiritual fulfillment.
