Living my life for God, allowing God to guide my decisions, and being mindful of others’ feeling are way that I am able to make my life a prayer to God every day. I know that both personal and communal prayer is vital to a healthy relationship with God and others and I look forward to experiencing that in the FrancisCorps community.”
