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.

Quiet and Meditation: A "Radical Sabbatical"
Where there is quiet and meditation, there is neither preoccupation nor dissipation.
Saint Francis of Assisi
THE ADMONITIONS
Admonition 27
Please keep all of us in your prayers this weekend. I will be leading a Contemplative Retreat at the Portiuncula beginning tomorrow and won't be back until late Sunday evening. Three days of Quiet and Meditation, coupled with a hard fast on Bread and Water only! (And now you know why we affectionately refer to this Retreat as a "Radical Sabbatical!")
