Creating your Nativity scene with Pope Francis
Greccio and the O Antiphons
By Friar Michael Lasky, OFM Conv.
& Artist Friar Joseph Dorniak, OFM Conv.
This resource is designed to help us make this spiritual journey of Advent and Christmas by bringing together both the inspiration of Greccio and the O Antiphons. In turn, these can help to assist us in our coming to a deeper consideration of how better to live the social teaching of the Church in our world today. In short, it is Franciscan “prayer in action” that strengthens our relationship with God and others, through moments of silence, movement, song, and reflection.
