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.
When we pray the Our Father we are speaking directly to God. In Contemplative Prayer God speaks to us. But first we must quiet our body, mind, and soul and most especially our heart if we are going to hear Him speak to us.
