Second Sunday Speaker Series —St. Francis “lived the Scriptures”: The Biblical Roots of Franciscan Spirituality

Join us in Bonaventure Hall at the Old Mission for our Second Sunday Speaker Series, which resumes on Sunday, September 10 with guest speaker Fr. Garrett Galvin, OFM, President of the Franciscan School of Theology.

In the writings of St. Francis, we see an intense focus on the gospels. The Synoptic Gospels of Matthew, Mark and Luke are very important for their missionary zeal. The disciples are on a journey of preaching, teaching, and healing with Jesus. St. Francis and his disciples were also on a journey. The Gospel of John injects the Holy Spirit into this journey in a manner that focuses us on community. This gospel inspiration matches up with an emphasis on deeds and concrete details over abstract ideas. In this presentation, we will discover how much St. Francis was motivated by a biblical vision.
