Personal prayer as a franciscan

Personal prayer allows us to speak to God, in such an intimate tone, as we could have in conversation with the closest of friends. This was known by St.Francis. God, Father, who was always present in his life, accompanied him and guided him in the most difficult moments. Francis opened his soul to the Lord, he already adored him, he already thanked him, he already asked for help ... he was also always waiting for His answer. Franciscans know how to find that balance between talking with his Creator, and waiting in silence (like Francis before the Crucifix of St. Damien) so we can hear His answer.
