Living Fully in Christ: Franciscan Discernment

Living fully in Christ means continually turning to God. Whether we are single, married, in a religious community, or in the priesthood, the process of discernment strengthens this relationship with our creator. 

Among the many Catholic ways of discerning God’s direction for us, the Franciscan approach comes from the lived example of St. Francis of Assisi.
