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.
Most High, Glorious God, enlighten the darkness in my heart, and give me correct FAITH, sure HOPE and perfect CHARITY, with understanding and knowledge, Lord, so that I may fulfill Your true and holy command, Amen.
Thank you for directing me to your homepage, it is very uplifting and inspirational. As you say, this prayer says it all, especially enlightening the darkness of my heart. If they weren't born centuries apart, I would thing St. Francis and John of the Cross were co-authors of many of their works...
