Praise for 'Lent with St. Francis'
Lent with St. Francis, 2017: Meditations and Prayers for Each Day of Lent was very popular and we completely ran out. We asked you to share your thoughts about the booklet. Mark Carroll, Secular Franciscan from Bay Village had some compelling thoughts that we decided to share with you.

"I have been through Lent with St. Francis several times, and I wanted you to know how much I have enjoyed this booklet, and how relative to each day it seems to be.
When I first received them, my initial thought was "seems awfully small." Nonetheless, it is often in our smallness we are able to see with greater clarity, those things that in our fullness we choose to disregard.
The tone not only for Lent, but our lives as well is set in the very first writing by Thomas of Celano.
"Humility is the guardian and ornament of all virtues. If the spiritual building does not rest on it, it will fall into ruin."
What a humbling way to approach the beauty and significance of this sacred season.
Peace and every good always,
Mark Carroll, ofs
