These are the reflections of a Secular Franciscan. I look not only at my own spiritual journey, but also at issues of life, economic and social justice, morality, the arts, and more through the lens of Franciscan Spirituality.

Rochester Catholic Men's Conference
I attended the first Rochester Catholic Men's Conference Saturday, along with hundreds of other Rochester Catholic men.
Great speakers - Tim Staples, Hector Molina, and Danny Abramowicz, as well as a homily by Bishop Matano for the opening Mass.
Inspiring and challenging.
Tough for this reclusive fellow. And the call to action, well, I would like to commit to promoting men's groups, but that's not my thing. Except for the Franciscan, I'm not a group person - and even with them I'm somewhat reserved.
As awful as it sounds, I just don't like being around people a lot.
But the call to speak out - well that's one I can handle.
I look forward to seeing what happens in the diocese as a result of this conference, and to the second conference next year.
Pax et bonum
