We can never tell how patient or humble a person is when everything is going well with them. But when those who should co-operate with him do the exact opposite, then we can tell. A person has as much patience and humility as he has then, and no more.
Saint Francis of Assisi
The Admonitions
Admonition XIII
T
The Portiuncula, located in Jerusalem, Ohio, in the Diocese of Steubenville, is home to the Franciscan Lay Apostolate. We are humbly committed to imitating the Gospel life of Christ, and observing the Sacraments. Placing ourselves under strict and holy obedience to Bishop Jeffrey Monforton of Steubenville, the Magisterium, and Father Timothy Davison, we follow the Medieval Penitential First Rule of the Third Order of St. Francis, dated 1221 A.D.
"CUM GRANDE HUMILITATE!"
"Preach the Gospel at all times, and when necessary, use words."
