"You know, I believe that the kingdom of heaven is promised and given by the
Lord only to the poor (cf. Matthew 5:3) for she who loves temporal things loses
the fruit of love. Such a person cannot serve God and money, for either the one is
loved and the other hated, or the one is served and the other despised (cf.
Matthew 6:24)."
—From the first letter of St. Clare to Agnes of Prague, June, 1234
St. Clare's gift is unique: She has a special way of seeing God and seeing the ways we can establish a relationship with God's mystery.
I have some news. Our company is now Franciscan Media. We've rebranded to reflect our response to new technologies and the seismic shifts in the publishing industry, as well as in Catholic parish life. We were motivated by a need to clarify our company's relevance in today's marketplace—especially with a younger audience.
Our vision is to bring the world the best the Catholic faith has to offer.
Speaking of new technologies, we now offer the most popular features of our flagship website, AmericanCatholic.org, as an iPhone app. Saint of the Day is also available as an app. For the latest Catholic news, profiles of the saints and more, sign up for our newest e-newsletter, American Catholic Connections.
Among the new book titles available this season are two Lenten products, Rediscover Lent and Lent with the Saints. In audiobook form, we offer The Little Way of Lent and Richard Rohr's Breathing Under Water.
You can join the conversation on our blog or stay connected with us via our new Facebook page. Even find hope and inspiration at our online Lenten features.
Help us to continue spreading the Gospel message. Would you consider sending $50, $75 or $100? Your tax-deductible donation in any amount helps us pay the costs of our publishing outreaches, including this e-newsletter.
