“go and repair my house, which, as you see, is all being destroyed” epilogue “go and repair my house, which, as you see, is all being destroyed”

We have the same invitation to rebuild the church Leadership is NOT an option for human beings; we all influence others to act. The forces of good are: love, faith, hope, wisdom, generosity, courage, kindness Francis exemplified these virtues in his time, with the grace of God, we can be example for ours!

IF WE BUILD GOD’S HOUSE-THE REIGN OF GOD HERE AND NOW WE NEED TO EMBRACE SERVANT LEADERSHIP THAT: -with empathy & awareness, listens to people’s pleas and their wisdom -has a vision of God’s reign and the foresight to make decisions now that will guide us to it -build community of service and resources all members to reach fullness of life -knows that we hold all creation in trust for the future

THE GOSPEL OF JOY POPE FRANCIS HAS TAKEN SAINT FRANCIS AS A ROLE MODEL. IN HIS FIRST LETTER TO THE WORLD HE PRAYS FOR LEADERS TO BE DISTURBED BY THE STATE OF THE SOCIETY AND BREAK DOWN THE WALL OF SEPARATION BETWEEN THE ECONOMY AND THE COMMON GOOD OF SOCIETY. POPE FRANCIS MODELS WHAT HE PREACHES.

THE GOLDEN RULE LIVED BY ST. FRANCIS “IN EVERYTHING DO TO OTHERS AS YOU WOULD HAVE THEM DO TO YOU: FOR THIS IS THE LAW OF THE PROPHETS” People from many faith traditions admire St. Francis of Assisi because he lived the Golden Rule. St. Francis loved inclusively, passionately, generously, and wisely. LEADING LIKE FRANCIS BUILDS GOD’S HOUSE! THERE CAN BE NO BETTER LIFE AND NOBLE CALLING!

PRAYER OF ST. FRANCIS
