Reflect
Detachment from material possessions and earthly desires is a core principle of Franciscan spirituality. St. Francis embraced poverty to free himself from the distractions of wealth and status. By practicing detachment, we can focus more on our spiritual growth and relationship with God.
Pray
God of simplicity,
Teach us to let go of our attachment to material things.
Help us to find contentment in you alone
and to seek spiritual riches over worldly wealth.
May we, like St. Francis, embrace a life of simplicity and devotion.
Amen.
Act
Identify areas in your life where material attachments hinder your spiritual growth. Take steps to simplify and declutter, focusing instead on nurturing your relationship with God and serving others.
