The fraternities began with morning prayer, and then listened to talks by Capuchin Franciscan Fathers Catholic books and Bibles • Prayerbooks Gordon Combs, speaking, and Paul Minchak on Catholic doctrine and scriptural foundations. Later in the day they Religious Articles • Apps and E-books reflected on the prayer of the church, known as the Divine Office, fraternity in the modern world and various topics related to secular Franciscan life. Of course, there was a break in the day to feed “Brother Body” as St. Francis would DVDs and Music CDs say.

Always, God reaches out with healing and strength. He heals our souls. Healing gives us strength and insight, otherwise beyond us. The problem is that we, like the nine who walked away, forget God.
