Advent of Franciscan Values: Resources for Advent 2010
Mary with Child Icon
As the world prepares to celebrate the birth of God-with-us, Advent offers Franciscans and Franciscan-hearted persons a special opportunity to reflect on Francis and Clare's devotion to the mystery of the Incarnation. From his living nativity scene to his devotion to Christ's presence in all of creation, Francis witnessed to God's embrace of humanity, the Creator taking on created nature. In the midst of what can be a frenzied time of year, FAN invites us to reflect on eight Franciscan values identified by Fr. Tom Nairn, OFM. As we recommit to welcoming Christ into every aspect of our lives, let us welcome each of these values into our prayer. May we find inspiration in the myriad ways that the Incarnate Word speaks to us of these values throughout each day of this season, that we might proclaim in word and deed the advent of Franciscan values in our midst!
