From A Franciscan Calendar



I've been cleaning out some old materials (for garbage or recycling), and I came across a 2023 Franciscan Calendar.

So before it joins the recycling pile, here are some of the quotations.

Lord, help me to live this day, quietly, easily. To lean upon thy great strength, trustfully, restfully. To waiyt for the unfolding of Thy will, patiently, serenely. To meet others, peacefully, joyously. To face tomorrow, confidently, courageously. - St. Francis of Assisi

It was easy to love God in all that is beautiful. The lessons of deeper knowledge, though, instructed me to embrace God in all things. - St. Francis of Assisi

Those who are called to the table of the Lord must glow with brightness. - St. John Capistrano

Whenever the divine favor chooses someone to receive a special grace, to to accept a lofty vocation, God adorns the person with all the gifts of the Spirit neede to fulfill the task at hand. - St. Bernardine of Siena

Actions speak louder than words; let your words teach and your actions speak. - St. Anthony of Padua

Always go forward and never turn back. - St. Junipero Serra

Loving one another with the charity of Christ, let the love you have in your hearts be shown outwardly in your deeds. - St. Clare of Assisi

Keep a clear eye toward life's end. Do not forget your purpose and destiny as God's creature. - St. Francis of Assisi

God requires that we assist the animals when they need our help. Each being (human or creature) has the same right of protection. - St. Francis of Assisi

Let us make the best use of the precious moments and do all in our power for His dear sake and for His greater honor and glory. - St. Marianne Cope

The journey is essential to the dream. - St. Francis of Assisi

Pax et bonum
