Responding to the Gospel Challenge

Secular Franciscans are called to bring the Gospel to life and life to the the Gospel.  Back and forth. To and fro.  Here are five ways Secular Franciscans seeks to respond to the challenges of the Gospel:

1. Esteeming work as both a gift and as a sharing in creation, redemption, and service to the human family. 
2. Respecting all creation both animate and inanimate which reveals the love of God for us, thus fostering in us an attitude of environmental sensitivity and limiting our needs in order to live simply. 
3. Making family life a sign of peace, fidelity, respect for life, and a world renewed in Christ. 
4. Individually and collectively being in the forefront in promoting peace and justice.
5. Promoting the development and growth of youth and young Franciscans.

We try. We work at it. We help each other.
