Having shared some of my journey to becoming a 3rd Order Franciscan, members of the Foundation community were interested to hear more. I put far too much into the service, it had enough material for two services really but when you’re excited about something, it’s not always easy to know what material to leave out.
I endeavoured to create a monastic pilgrimage as people entered the space, with A3 instruction sheets guiding people through some basic rituals and Franciscan prayers. The main service included a biography of St. Francis, a reflection on my own journey to the 3rd Order and some discussion around quotes from St. Francis.
