THE WORK OF THE CHURCH
MONTH OF ST FRANCIS
“Start by doing what is necessary, then what is possible, and suddenly you are doing the impossible,” said St Francis. He had a gift for understanding that it is in action, in conscious doing, that we really live out the love of God in the world. Francis believed that above all else each day offered an opportunity to be present to the call of God on our time, resources and how we live in community. We are the embodiment of God's work, possibility and image in the world. Francis also understood that the world was God's gift to us shared through creation with great particularity and joy. Let's be especially open to all this might mean for us this October!
