Creation fully alive with its brightest of colors.
Autumn is:
Little children playing and laughing in the fallen leafs;
Drivers stopping off by the roadside to take in its beauty - perhaps shaking off the stress of the day.
Autumn is:
The smell of burning leaves;
Friends sitting around roasting marshmallows;
The perfect rhythm of the blowing trees.
Autumn is:
Leaves falling, some pretty, some little, some big and some not so nice.
Autumn is:
A gifted season for each of us to take time to notice. Perhaps a leaf just made for you will come your way. Take the time to notice what you are feeling in your heart and mind. Each day is for you and me. So take the time, it is all yours as a personal gift from our Creator, God.

International Day of Peace – Peace Walk
On a beautiful, sunny autumn day, about 50 members of the community gathered outside St. Francis Convent on Milwaukee’s south side to celebrate the 28th Annual International Day of Peace.
The United Nations established the day of peace in 1981 which is observed every year on September 21. More than 175 nations celebrate Peace Day. (Wect.com, 2010)
In the opening prayer we were reminded that we are all part of one global human family living together in a world that remains broken and divided. Everyone joined in prayer in hopes that the universal desire for peace may be realized. The participants gathered, walked and prayed for peace.
Everyone gathered around the “peace pole” located on the grounds of the St. Francis convent. The pole is inscribed with the words “May peace prevail on earth” written in serveral different languages.
The event ended with a prayer recited by one of St. Ann Center’s clients. As a Franciscan community we are reminded of the words of St. Francis of Assisi, “Lord, make me an instrument of your peace!”
