In this reflection for the Feast of St. Francis, Father Scott Steinkerchner explores the meaning of "being crucified to the world" from Galatians. He discusses how St. Francis's stigmata represent a detachment from worldly desires and a commitment to Jesus's values. He challenges viewers to consider how embracing these values might make them counter-cultural, yet faithful to God's calling.
