Deepest Desires
As Franciscans centered on the revelation of the emerging Cosmic Christ, contemplating and celebrating this Divine action in our lives, our deepest desires are to:
- BUILD life-giving, trusting communities that cherish each one's personal gifts,
- EMPOWER one another to live the truth of Gospel values,
- BOND with others in ever widening circles of compassion and peace,
- SPEAK to the Church and to the world from our common understanding that there be no outcasts in our experience of life on this earth.
