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 Bishop Jeffrey Monforton of Steubenville, the Magisterium, and Father Timothy Davison, we follow the Medieval Penitential First Rule of the Third Order of St. Francis, dated 1221 A.D.
We enter the land of silence by the silence of surrender. COMPLETE SURRENDER.
The only language God hears is the silent language of love. Silence is necessary if we are to hear God speaking in eternal silence. Our own silence is necessary if God is to hear us.
