I work for The Salvation Army in Minneapolis, as an alcohol and drug abuse counselor. I look forward to communing with my fellow Franciscans. My Dear friends, The present moment is so beautiful and alive . In fact , it is the only place that we can truly live .Within each breath , I have found the promise of the gospel and the rereshing energy that infused Brother Francis with life before the almond tree . It is the very energy of the Holy Spirit and the transforming and healing our Lord was so able to give so easily.
Mindfulness is no idea nor ideal .
It is a living experience . Grace is not that far away. Just reach out and touch it. I am a friend of Francis and Clare. I am a religious sister very much devoted to St. Francis of Assisi.
