U.S. Grace Force Basic Training – St. Francis of Assisi’s Knots of Harmony

St. Francis of Assisi was one of the happiest and most joyful of men. He was often ill, often hungry, often cold and often fatigued, but he was never known to have been sad. St. Francis was known to be in perfect harmony with God and, therefore, with all of creation. What special insight did St. Francis have? That insight is revealed by the three knots in the rope St. Francis wore around his waist. Let’s discover what these three knots are all about.

Join us for the National Rosary Rally and Rosary Coast to Coast on the Feast of St. Francis, Sunday, October 4. Information at rosarycoasttocoast.com[1].

Support the US Grace Force Basic Training

Hello and welcome to the United States Grace Force Basic Training!

What is needed now, more than ever, is to grow an enormous Grace Force that is strong in the Lord and in his mighty power (Eph. 6:10). This is why I have chosen this moment in history to give my total dedication to this United States Grace Force Basic Training.

This US Grace Force Basic Training will be in the form of succinct weekly motivational and instructional talks that will focus, primarily, on spiritual strength training. This training will integrate striving for excellence in all facets of our life in Christ, including heart, mind, soul and strength. These weekly trainings will be posted every Saturday morning, and will be tied to the Sunday readings.

If you feel so inclined, you can donate a small amount monthly to help keep us going. Whatever you are able to give would help us greatly to spread this message to more people and recruit spiritual warriors for the fight!
