Acting Franciscan

How are we called to live the gospel life in the Franciscan Tradition in our modern world? While we do not have all the answers, we know that understanding and growth require dialogue. So in this podcast series, brought to you by the Franciscan Action Network, we discuss and reflect on the societal issues that are near and dear to all Franciscan-hearted people so that we can contemplate and respond intentionally and compassionately. St. Francis may not have exactly said, “preach the gospel at all times, and when necessary, use words,” but he certainly lived it, and he invites us to live it in our own way in our own time.
