Formation Quotations
Secular Franciscans should devote themselves especially to careful reading of the gospel, going from gospel to life and life to gospel.
~Rule of the Secular Franciscan Order

This process of transformation into the Son is the work of the Holy Spirit, who is forming Jesus within us. The prayer of a listening heart is essential to this part of the formation process. This happens when the Gospel takes over our hearts, and we become like Jesus in our relationship to the Father.
~Formation Handbook St. Katharine Drexel Region of the Secular Franciscans

Sacred reading is a way of letting God’s word shape us and change us. Consider the transforming effects of your prayerful reading in your heart and in your daily life. Ask how you are different as a result of this encounter with the word of God: How is your life changing and being shaped through your lectio divina? How does God want you to be different today as a result of this encounter?â€
