Prayer of Franciscan Solitude

Solitude has been embraced by the Church since its beginning, but solitude that is called by the name “Franciscan” has the unique vision of its founder, St. Francis, stamped upon it. And simply being in a religious way in solitude is prayer. So, we offer these essays to all lovers of Franciscan solitude.

Since the publication of our first volume, Franciscan Solitude, in 1995, we have encountered several people who have taken St. Francis’ Document on Solitude personally into the fabric their lives, and we have invited them to share their experiences.
