SPIRITUAL LIFE

From the depths of their inner life, let them love, honor, adore, serve, praise, bless and glorify our most high and eternal God who is Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.--The Franciscan Rule

The Rule and Constitutions call the Franciscan sisters to a regularity of prayer, sacramental life and spiritual exercises, which nurture a sister's union with Christ.

The daily pattern of a sister's life includes:

• The Holy Sacrifice of the Mass
• The Liturgy of the Hours--Morning Prayer, Noon Office, Evening Prayer and Compline
• Meditation before the Blessed Sacrament--From the Eucharist, a sister draws her courage, joy, and the tenderness of her love.

The rule, constitution, and formation for our sisters calls them to live a Christian faith based spirituality, responding and cooperating with grace, to grow in union with God, through love and union of their will with God's will.

St. Francis was adamant that we must live lives of loving tenderness, humility, and continual conversion. He was passionate that we live a deeply sacramental life in union with the Church and study and pattern our lives on Sacred Scripture and apostolic teaching.

The postulant and novice ordinarily learn many new forms and techniques of prayer, especially those that are dear to her Franciscan religious family, but she is given time and space for the uniqueness of her own devotional life.
