A regular reflection from one of our Franciscan Friars on the day’s readings, the happenings around the parish, or discussing parochial outreach initiatives.

A Generous Life

Friar Reflections,

Today is the Feast of St. Clare of Assisi. If you would like to know a little more about St. Clare you can find a short post about her life and her way of following Christ. Also, there are alternative feast day readings for this great Franciscan saint here. Today’s gospel is:

Peter said to Jesus, “We have given up everything and followed you. What will there be for us?” Jesus said to them, “Amen, I say to you that you who have followed me, in the new age, when the Son of Man is seated on his throne of glory, will yourselves sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. And everyone who has given up houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or children or lands for the sake of my name will receive a hundred times more, and will inherit eternal life.” (Mt 19:27-29)
