Welcome! We are here to accompany one another; pray; listen; work for social justice; care for all creation; question; reflect on the lives of St Francis and St Clare; build bridges; contemplate; grow in love; trust Peace.... How can we help? Peace and All Good.😀

Tomorrow is Peace Sunday and we can all look to the example of Saint Francis.

Pope Leo XIV has announced that 2026 is a Jubilee Year of St. Francis in commemoration of 800 years since his death and recently shared this prayer. 🙏

[Young Franciscans @YouFraLondon]

Mindful of the concerns about this platform.

Our Franciscan life, prayer, support, resources are found on websites, in churches, courses, communities and retreat houses, too. Goodness, care, creativity, inspiration...

Always in prayer and together in spirit.
Peace and All Good

On the Solemnity of the Epiphany of the Lord, I prayed for you, your personal intentions, and peace throughout the world at St Anthony’s Tomb. I'll remember you again later this morning during the Holy Mass I'll celebrate in the Basilica. Blessings to you and your loved ones!🤗

Let us pray for peace in 2026 and strive for harmony and peace. 🙏

On the last day of the year, I prayed for you, your personal intentions and world peace before St Anthony's Relic. I'll remember you again later this morning during the Holy Mass I'll celebrate. Have a great day! Blessings to you and your loved ones. Happy New Year 🤗

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

In the light of the Nativity of the Lord, let us continue to pray for peace. Today, in particular, let us pray for families suffering because of war, especially for children, elderly and the most vulnerable. Let us entrust ourselves together to the intercession of the Holy Family of Nazareth.

[Young Franciscans @YouFraLondon]

Good morning.

"Give us grace, Lord, to practise what we worship."
(MP)

In his Christmas Urbi et Orbi address, Pope Leo XIV renews his plea for peace, reminding the world that it is both God’s gift and humanity’s shared responsibility.

#Christmas

[Cardinal Nichols @CardinalNichols]

I wish you all a most prayerful and blessed Christmas. I ask you to be angels and stars for others, drawing them, by your actions and encouragement, to Jesus, our Lord and Master, the fountain of peace and joy. This way we share the true happiness of Christmas.

[Young Franciscans @YouFraLondon]

Happy Christmas Eve.

If you're struggling, missing home, still working, anxious, in difficult family dynamics, lonely, overwhelmed, not sure what you believe of it, and all other experiences.....that is at the centre of Christmas.
God is Love. All included.

Peace and All Good

[Young Franciscans @YouFraLondon]

Good morning.

"In this time of your coming,
support and console us who trust in your love." (MP)

"...true God, who is the fullness of good, all good, every good, the true and supreme good..." (St Francis of Assisi)
