A certain Bernard of the city of Assisi, who was afterwards a son of perfection, since he was planning to perfectly despise the world after the example of the man of God, humbly sought his advise… “If someone, father, possessed for a long time the goods of some lord and did not want to keep them any longer, what would be the most perfect thing to do with them?” The man of God answered that all of them should be given back to the lord from whom he had received them.

- 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.
