But Saint Francis, who did not trust in his own skill, but has recourse to holy prayer before all transactions, chose not to live for himself alone, but for him who died for all.
~Thomas of Celano, The First Life of St. Francis of Assisi (Chapter XIV:35)

- I am a professed Third Order Franciscan since 2002. I have dedicated my life to living and following the Rule of the Secular Franciscan Order. I have been the Vice-Minister and Minister of my local fraternity. Recently, my faith journey has taken me east to the Byzantine Catholic Church. I look forward to spreading the work of Saint Francis in my new found home. Even more recently I find that I am being called to walk more closely in the footsteps of Saint Francis. Our world is in desperate need a restoration of Faith, Hope and Charity. It is to this end that I devote my life.
