"On Friday, Oct. 3, the eve of St. Francis Assisi’s feast day, Father Benedict Groeschel passed away, completing his earthly work that was so motivated by St. Francis himself.
"While his professional resume includes a doctorate in psychology from Columbia University and his longtime service as spiritual director for the Archdiocese of New York, he will probably best be remembered for his instrumental work in founding the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal, a community of men who live and work among the poor and proclaim the good news of Jesus Christ to those most in need. Yet he also was known widely by many Catholic faithful for his many books on the spiritual life, his work as a retreat master and conference speaker, and his popular 'Sunday Night Prime' television broadcast on EWTN."
In a recent commentary, Christopher White reflected on on the life and ministry of Father Benedict Groeschel, C.F.R. (May he rest in peace.).
