Our Lady of the Lake (Parish of St. James the Apostle and Our Lady of the Lake/Mount Carmel)

La vida de San Francisco de Asís es un canto luminoso a la humildad, al desprendimiento de lo superfluo y al amor apasionado por Cristo. En su abrazo a la pobreza y en su fraternidad con toda la Creación, nos enseña que la verdadera libertad y la paz del corazón nacen de despojarse de las vanidades del mundo para llenarse únicamente de la presencia de Dios. Que su ejemplo nos inspire a vivir con alegría sencilla, a reconocer el rostro del Señor en nuestro prójimo y a convertir nuestra vida cotidiana en un instrumento de su paz.
