Counting Our Blessings

At Franciscan Media, we work every day to provide you with free materials that nourish your spirit. We call these free resources Blessings. In this month's Blessings newsletter, we offer meditations on family, St. Francis of Assisi, and a prayer for healing. We hope you enjoy our offerings this month.

Thank you in advance for your support! You are our greatest blessing.
