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.
Yes, marie cecile, we are most susceptable to cooling off when we let the cares of this world overwhelm us and before you know it, we are no longer focused upon Jesus. It is only through daily, ardent prayer that we are able to keep fanning those flames in our hearts into full-blown forest fires!
Time spent on line is not a vice if used to edify and uplift others and emulate the Blessed Virgin Mary: pointing to her Son, Jesus, and saying, "Do as he tells you to do."
Look at all the people you can lead to Christ on the internet!
