“Lord, it is good that we are here.”
For three years now, my husband Jeff and I have participated in a treasured monthly spiritual series at Francis House of Prayer (Allentown, NJ) with Sr. Marcy Springer, SSJ, on St. Teresa of Ávila. This year, our group has been reading and discussing her book The Way of Perfection, written for her religious community of Carmelite sisters to instruct them in their prayer life. Last month, we read about St. Teresa’s thoughts on the prayer of quiet, something that all

Posted By Teresa Redder, on February 25th, 2026 On February 8th, there was a Chapter of Elections at St. Francis Fraternity-Folsom, PA. The presider was Teresa Redder, OFS, and the ecclesial witness (delegate) was Sr. Mercedes, Rojo, OSF.

“Seek the Lord, all you humble of the earth…Seek justice, seek humility.”
During the years that I served in the Air Force Reserves and participated in monthly weekend training assemblies, I had the opportunity occasionally to attend Mass at the base chapel. Just as our parish has worship aids that inspire our liturgical celebrations, the chapel also had liturgical art that enhanced the assembly’s prayer experiences.

Dear Sisters and Brothers in St. Francis,
May the Lord grant you peace!
In the Spring of 1207, while in the woods of Monte Subasio, Saint Francis was accosted by several thieves. They asked Francis who he was and he replied simply, I am the herald of the great King! We know the story: they
