The Jasper Family is helping us celebrate the feast day of St. Francis with a monthlong $50,000 matching grant opportunity. Will you double your impact this month?
Dear John, One of my favorite stories of St. Francis is when he came upon the ruins of the San Damiano Chapel. While he was deep in prayer, a voice told him to rebuild the church. Dutifully, Francis began collecting materials to repair it. I love that Francis was so literal: When he heard the call to rebuild the church, God meant the worldwide Church. Suddenly, he had a bigger job on his hands. He spent the rest of his life fortifying the worldwide Church, making sure that all of God’s people were invited through its doors. We at Franciscan Media work every day to repair God’s Church. And your support fuels our mission. We are in week three of our matching campaign. Based on the paragraph above, we have ground to make up! Donate today and double your impact! |
St. Francis, in his writings, longed for, “humility, patience, perfect simplicity, and true peace.” In that spirit, I wish to thank you for your support of our mission to share the vision of St. Francis with the world. May God give you peace! |
