This October, take the Live Like Francis Challenge

 What does it mean to live like Francis in today's world? 

This October, you're invited to answer Pope Leo’s call to follow in St. Francis’ footsteps and participate in the Live Like Francis Challenge, a monthlong opportunity to practice Franciscan values through simple, intentional actions. Every week, we'll focus on a theme rooted in a pillar of the Franciscan tradition, offering ways to live in the spirit of St. Francis through care for creation, community life, prayer and relationships. 

See the calendar below for a daily challenge throughout October. Some invite you to pray or reflect; others encourage acts of kindness, care or service in the world around you. Pause and consider how the Franciscan way of life can emerge in ordinary situations of everyday life. 

If you would like to receive these challenges and a brief reflection via email, click here to sign up. 

It's not another list of tasks to complete. Rather, it's an opportunity to let each day offer its own invitation: to encounter, to give thanks and to notice how, little by little, we can all live like Francis.
