White text on a dark blue background with a red border on the top and bottom. The text reads: “Custom has the force of law, abolishes law, and is the interpreter of law. For, as the jurist says, laws are established when they are promulgated and approved by the custom of those who use them. When a people approve something by their acts repeatedly, it is like the judgment of the whole people expressed in words by their ruler.” Here “custom” is at least a surrogate of, and necessarily a function of, culture. Aquinas lived at a time when feudal monarchies were the order of the day. His intuitive understanding that culture can shape – and even supersede – law puts the focus on us as being more important than the king. This means that change begins within ourselves."

A painting of Saint Francis of Assisi shows him gazing upward in prayer, his face partially illuminated beneath the hood of his brown habit. In his hands he holds a skull, symbolizing humility and the contemplation of life’s fragility. White text over the image reads: “Saint Francis of Assisi — October 4.” A small cross emblem appears below the text.

Saint Francis of Assisi, stands in partial shadow holding a skull in both hands. His brown robe catches soft light as he gazes upward in prayerful reflection. White text over the image reads: “At all times and seasons, in every country and place, every day and all day, we must have a true and humble faith. — Saint Francis of Assisi.”

Sisters and brothers, let us pray for the grace to live lives that proclaim the Gospel by how we love and serve one another—a living sermon in glory to God.
