The Gospel Through a Franciscan Lens – 16th Sunday in Ordinary Time – Fr. Christopher
Fr. Christopher powerfully brings us back to the reality of God’s mercy and love in a world that seems so removed from that reality.
“Pope Francis has urged the peoples of the world to get in touch with God’s silent pulse of His love that permeates actively all of creation. God brings forth all creatures in silence and non-violence.”
