Blessed are those servants who are not quick to excuse themselves and who humbly put up with shame and reproach for sins they are not guilty of.

The Portiuncula, located in Jerusalem, Ohio, in the Diocese of Steubenville, is home to the Franciscan Lay Apostolate. We are humbly committed to imitating the Gospel life of Christ, and observing the Sacraments. Placing ourselves under strict and holy obedience to Bishop Jeffrey Monforton of Steubenville, the Magisterium, and Father Timothy Davison, we follow the Medieval Penitential First Rule of the Third Order of St. Francis, dated 1221 A.D.
"CUM GRANDE HUMILITATE!"
"Preach the Gospel at all times, and when necessary, use words."

That's the hardest voluntary poverty to take unto oneself.
ReplyDeleteHow true. But I have discovered that once you make that vow to God, he truly honors it by plunging you into its depoths.
ReplyDeleteGod bless!
Yes it is, but once we make the decision, it's interesting how God honors that decision and plunges you immediately into its depths.
