What if you had one sentence to sum up an entire way of life? That's the challenge Fr. Isaiah, CFR takes on here — distilling Franciscan spirituality into a phrase the friars brought back from their mission in Honduras: "Somos peregrinos al Señor, poco a poco, vamos a ver" — we are pilgrims to the Lord, little by little, we're going to make it. In it, he finds everything: detachment, singleness of heart, patience with slow growth, and the hope that carries a pilgrim all the way home.

➡️ ABOUT THIS PROJECT
This year marks 800 years since the death of St. Francis of Assisi. To mark the anniversary, we're travelling to friaries across the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal to sit down with the friars and hear, in their own words, what St. Francis means to them — how they first encountered him, what drew them to the Franciscan life, and what the Poverello continues to teach them today.
