What's in a Name?

The name 'The Three Knots' refers to the the three knots that the Franciscans wear on their cinctures - these knots symbolize their vows of Chastity, Poverty and Obedience. These vows are sure guides in the spiritual life, especially in our modern world where lust, greed and noise are the hallmarks of our society.

While I am not a Franciscan, I am a brother of St. Francis of Assisi, because we are both Deacons in the Catholic Church. St. Francis was the first saint that I greatly admired, and through the witness of his life he led me into a deeper love for Jesus Christ.

And so, the name of this blog pays homage to that fiery Italian preacher from the 13th century whose life still witnesses to the truth of the Gospel.
