An Oasis of Renewal in the Arizona Desert, Part I

800 years ago, if you were a layperson who followed St. Francis of Assisi and asked to join his order, he likely would not have responded as you expected. If you had a family or a job you were passionate about, he would have counseled you to not leave them but to embrace and live the Gospel in your work and day-to-day life.

A Friar’s Notes
Thoughts and Prayers are not Enough

As we begin to journey through the Easter season, we are reminded that love is stronger than death and that in Christ, life is transformed, not ended. The Resurrection of Jesus assures us that those we love are never truly lost but live on in the embrace of God's eternal mercy.
