Franciscan Focus

Just a simple blog of a Secular Franciscan trying to live life with a Franciscan focus.

Timely technological prayer 

A fellow Franciscan, Sr. Mary Kansier, MS, composed this wonderfully powerful -- and concise! -- prayer in relation to the proper use of technology. I'm happy to share it here, and hope it spreads 'round the Innertoobz! With proper citation for Sr. Mary (who retains all copyrights), of course!

Prayer to St. Maximilan Kolbe on the Use of Technology
by Sr. Mary Kansier, MS

Heavenly Father, Your loving servant Maximilian Kolbe spent his life in service to others, using technology to spread the good news of Jesus Christ.

You crowned his life with the grace to give his life for another, in imitation of Jesus who said, "There is no greater love than to lay down your life for a friend."

Through the intercession of St. Maximilian, may we always use technology for Your Glory and to draw others close to You and Your Blessed Mother Mary.

St. Maximilian Kolbe, pray for us. Amen.

Congrats to Melissa on her new baby! 

w00t!

My pal Melissa's son, William "Wil" James, made his debut on 22 June (Friday), weighing in at 7 lbs 3 oz. Welcomed by big sister Marley, Wil surprised everyone by showin' up 10 days early, but both he and mom are doin' fine. :-D

The Lord bless you and keep you.
May He show His face to you and have mercy.
May He turn His countenance to you
and give you peace.
The Lord bless you, Baby Wil!
~ Blessing of St. Francis of Assisi

Congratulations, Melissa!

UPDATE: Yay! Melissa posted a picture of Baby Wil! Such a cutie! :::swoons:::
