Update

Greetings, John!

Saint of the Day and Minute Meditations will not be interrupted!

Usually at this time of year, we interrupt Saint of the Day and Minute Meditations to ask for your support in order to keep these valued daily tools for your spiritual journey. This year, we have decided to change our plans. We feel that the world is in desperate need of hope and inspiration and have decided not to interrupt our Saint of the Day and Minute Meditations as a result. We know that this is a very small change, but we believe that during this pandemic it’s important to offer our subscribers every resource we can to nourish hungry spirits. As the world continues to change daily, we are inspired by your strength and the love that our Franciscan community has expressed for our staff and our ministry.

In addition to our cornerstones, we have provided additional offerings during this time of fear and isolation. Peace and Good in Troubled Times is our response to the COVID-19 outbreak. It is about supporting our community and each other, because together, we are one. Even in the midst of a pandemic where schools and businesses have closed and public events cancelled, we are facing this together, as a community, and as a Franciscan family.

Today, we are still going to come together as one community. We have always counted on this spring interruption for a significant amount of the funding needed to continue to provide this resource free for the asking. But this season, we will not interrupt these resources at a time when we know you need them more than ever. Our benefactors at the Beracha Fund are still standing as one with us. They have generously offered to extend their 4:1 match to cover this appeal without a cap. They recognize that you and our team of writers, editors, web developers, and artists need Saint of the Day and Minute Meditations now more than ever.

If you are inclined to help keep our resources flowing to fight the fear and anxiety isolation brings, we encourage you to support Saint of the Day, Minute Meditations, or the resources most meaningful to you by clicking "donate" below.

Know that we at Franciscan Media are so grateful for our Franciscan community around the world. Every day, we see the words of affirmation you post to our website. Know that you are not alone and that you continue to inspire us and give us the hope and love needed to do our meaningful work every day.
