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 the Bishop of Steubenville, the Magisterium, and Father Nick Ward, we follow the Medieval Penitential First Rule of the Third Order of St. Francis, dated 1221 A.D.
If you choose to suffer persecution rather than choose to be seperated from your brothers and sisters, you truly stand firm in perfect obedience, for you are laying down your life for them.
Yes, I totally agree with you Marie Cecile. And as humans, we are incapable of loving anyone like that. That's why we rely upon Jesus, through the power of His Holy Spirit living within us, to follow His commandment to love. Without Him, nothing is possible. Through Him, all things are possible.
