3After hearing Our Lord tell him to “rebuild my church”, St. Francis did just that. As Franciscans, we share in this call, and we understand that The Church include “the world.” Franciscans have been at the forefront of social justice movements since the beginning, and Secular Franciscans share in this work. Chapter 2, paragraph 15 tells us…
