Franciscan Discernment Reflection Rebuilding and Courage
04/11/2025
Franciscan Sister of Christian Charity Sr. Mary Ann Spanjers continues to deeply explore how St Francis of Assis's call can resonate with your own discernment and relationship with God.
"intimacy..... affects every aspect of life in a way nothing else can: ministry, work, family, community, faith life, one’s image of God and one’s personal self-image, because we are not trying to hide behind excuses, fears, humor, obsessions. In other words, our experience of intimacy affects the way we pray, the way we serve, the way we forgive, the way we live, the way we relate to others close to us, the way we hope the way we dream about our future."
