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.

A funeral
This morning I'm attending a funeral of a woman I never met.
She was the mother of a man my wife worked with for several years. She, the man, and the man's wife, are friends. I am the attached husband - they are nice people, but to me only acquaintances. They did come to show support when my father died.
I don't object to going to the funeral. They are good people, and I'm happy to support them and my wife.
As for the deceased, she was by all accounts a good woman who lived a full life. Perhaps now she is a saint in heaven.
Pray for us all, please.
Pax et bonum
