Dear Gloria,
How can one adequately thank you for such a book of Franciscan testimonials. There are several aspects of your wonderful presentation that I am particularly touched by.
For one, the stories of your fraternity members shared appear in low key humility describing individual crosses few of us could easily accept these days. Yet the determination of their spirit and the love of our Lord in their lengthy lives shine though in each story.
The other aspect of the Franciscan love demonstrated and visible is the joyous sharing and welcoming in each Fraternity of members new and old alike. The learned as well as the graduates of long hard and occasionally lonely lives.
My hope remains that all members of the Franciscan Family at large will avail themselves of this beautiful and very insightful book that presents the Franciscan lived experience of our days in such clear terms.
May the good Lord bless and keep you and your family.
Fraternally in St. Francis – Les Alberti, ofs
