The Portiuncula Franciscan Chapel, located adjacent to the Immaculate Conception Cemetery in Ozark, Ohio (Diocese of Steubenville) is humbly committed to imitating the Gospel life of Christ, and observing the Sacraments. Placing ourselves under strict and holy obedience to Father Nick Ward, we follow the Medieval Penitential First Rule of the Third Order of St. Francis, dated 1221 A.D.

I think of all the times I wanted "justification" to stand up for my dignity and rights my "honor" in the face of insult and being wronged by others.
ReplyDeleteWhen I come to think of it, ..do any of those incidences even matter now? Do I even recall what they were?
Oh to have the serenity and peace of St Francis and immitate the Lord.."so He opened not His mouth".
