Focusing Our Aim

Justice, Peace and the Integrity of Creation is a massive subject that no doubt could fill libraries with related material. It becomes easy to get off track when seeking specific material to enable meaningful and actionable study for the short time we have in our fraternity meetings.

Our study seeks to be a continuing effort to apply the examples of Francis and Clare. To that end we have collected some of the current and important documents that have bearing on our Franciscan way of life to go from life to gospel and gospel to life as it relates to the area of Justice, Peace and the Integrity of Creation.

Murray Bodo, Francis: The Journey and the Dream (Cincinnati: St. Anthony Messenger Press, 1988, revised 2011) An iconic reflection on the life of Francis, written in lyrical prose.
Englebert, Omer, St Francis of Assisi: A Biography (Servant Books, 2013) A good, basic reference on the life of Francis.
