Prayer of the week

O God,
you have prepared for those who love you
such good things as pass our understanding:
pour into our hearts such love toward you,
that, loving you above all things,
we may obtain your promises
which exceed all that we can desire;
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen

From the Eastern Hill

Joyfully seriously—800 years of the Franciscan movement

Fr John first went to Assisi as a graduate student in the early 1970s. For some 35 years he has been returning, more often than not staying with the American Sisters at St Anthony's. In this personal thanksgiving, Fr John reflects on the value of the Franciscan tradition, for himself, and for us all.
