Let them [the sisters] always radiate joy for the Glory of God, as St. Francis earnestly recommended. Let them imitate St. Felix and be always at peace in their simplicity and modesty. This happiness shall be their particular trait by which they will demonstrate that as Felicians, whose name means happiness, they have found the greatest treasure in complete poverty. In their humility, a source of true joy, they will delight others, showing them the way to true happiness, which depends on knowing and loving God. –Second Edition, revised, p. 83, ¶8 https://feliciansisters.org/spiritual-heritage/ |

Almighty God, you gave Saint Felix to the Franciscan Family and to the Church as an example of evangelical simplicity and innocence of life. Following his example, may we strive to love and joyfully to follow Christ alone. Amen.
