These circles offer a welcoming\, sacred space to connect with fellow Franciscans across the country. \n\n\n\nThis Month’s Topic \n\n\n\nOur focus this month is on finding strength\, stillness\, and hope in the midst of chaos. Many of us are carrying the weight of unrest in our communities and in the wider world. Our facilitator\, Lavina Taylor\, will guide us through practice and prayers that invite us to pause\, breathe\, and reconnect with the quiet beneath the noise. \n\n\n\nWe’ll draw from several short readings and resources\, including: \n\n\n\n\nA Blessing in the Chaos\n\n\n\nA breath prayer for stillness and silence\n\n\n\nA prayer from The Possibility of Hope\n\n\n\nA short dance video set to the Prayer for Guidance\n\n\n\n\nQuestions to ponder: \n\n\n\n\nWhere do you notice an “opening into the quiet that lies beneath the chaos”?\n\n\n\nHow does seeking stillness strengthen you\, and what makes it challenging?\n\n\n\nIn the Prayer for Guidance\, we ask to “carry out Your holy and true command.” Does the prayer from The Possibility of Hope help make that feel possible?\n\n\n\n\nAll are welcome! \n\n\n\n👉 Click here to register

SUMMARY:Walking Together in the Spirit of Francis and Clare (Online)
DESCRIPTION:Walking Together in the Spirit of Francis and Clare\n\n\n\nEncountering the Sacred Through the Spirituality of Place\n\n\n\nJoin us for a reflective online gathering with Mary Beth Wisniewski from Franciscan Pilgrimage Programs to explore how the landscapes of Francis and Clare continue to shape the hearts of pilgrims today. \n\n\n\nTo walk in the footsteps of St. Francis and St. Clare is to enter a way of seeing marked by attentiveness\, humility\, and openness to God’s presence. During our time together\, we will reflect on how the places they lived\, prayed\, and formed community can become invitations into our own encounter with the sacred. \n\n\n\nWe will consider pilgrimage as an intentional engagement with sacred time and sacred space—an experience that awakens deeper connection with God\, creation\, and one another. Participants will also be invited to pause\, breathe\, and reflect on the contours of their own spiritual journey. \n\n\n\nClick here to join
