Custodians of the Tradition

Reclaiming the Franciscan Intellectual Tradition

Those like ourselves who are immediate heirs of the tradition inspired by the spirituality of Francis [and Clare] might better see ourselves as responsible stewards of a treasure that has much to offer for the healing of humanity and of the world at large.
