"Place your mind in the mirror of eternity, your soul in the splendor
of glory, your heart in the figure of divine substance...transform your entire being
into the image of the Divine..."
St. Clare of Assisi
Spiritual Journey
Conversion of heart is considered the cornerstone of the core Franciscan values. Simply stated, we want always to grow deeper into the mystery of God and the mystery of who we are in relationship to God and to all of creation. To this end, we offer a variety of opportunities, programs and events for spiritual growth. Whether it is a desire for solitary time at our Franciscan Life Center, with nature at Clare's Well, or quiet renewal time at Sabbath House, retreats and time alone allow us to attend to God's relationship with us and to more consciously respond to God's call to a deeper life.
