About Me And This Blog

Welcome to my blog. My name is Michael OFS aka "The little Secular Franciscan." This blog is about sharing how I try to live my life in common with the Gospel as a Secular Franciscan. Through all of life's twists and turns it is easy to get lost or fall into the wrong path. I am a professed member in the Secular Franciscan Order (OFS) of the Catholic Church called to follow Jesus in the footsteps of Saint Francis of Assisi. We wear a Tau Cross which is our (habit) an outward sign showing that we are in the OFS. I would like to share my thoughts, experiences and favorite prayers with others through this blog and just blogging about every day life as an OFS and how I strive to combined my life with the Gospel with all the challenges, the joys, the hardships and the rewards. Following Jesus in the footsteps of Saint Francis of Assisi helps me to keep me focused on God and all He has to offer. My choice of remaining single and giving my life to God helps me lead a more full and rich life in Christ. It allows me to be more free and opened to focus on God and my Faith as a consecrated single. It also allows me to accept all God offers me with out any extra distraction from Him. The Franciscan way of life helps me to strive to be faithful to God in all that I do. I am not a professional writer or author. Just sharing my thoughts and experiences. Pax et Bonum!
