About

Hello and Peace to All

I am Paul Long OFS the Host and fellow walker for Our Walk Together

I have had many titles in life: a student, a husband; a father; a grandfather and great-grandfather. I have worked in Catholic Ministry as a Youth Minister, The Director of a Children’s Camp, and a Registered Nurse.

I have lived my life under the direction of my Personal Permanent Vow of Non-Violence.

I live in the Franciscan Tradition as a Professed Secular Franciscan.

Throughout my life I have had many types of experiences. I view all of life as a journey, particularly a journey of spirituality and prayer, but not a journey we take alone.

I am dedicated to living the simplicity and humility of the gospel and to a life rooted in the Secular Franciscan TraditionI am dedicated to the principles of Non Violence in fulfillment of my Vow of NonViolence, and living that out every day. I believe in simplicity of life. I am not looking to “convert” anyone but I also know that others may be interested in these things and would like to hear and talk about them.

Having retired I now dedicate myself to study, teaching, walking together and sharing with others walking the road of life.

A great joy in my life has been sharing my experiences and lessons with others. With years I feel I have become an elder with a lot to share in many areas. I have not written any books and am not famous, but I am intensely interested in other peoples experiences and sharing mine. My Podcast “Our Walk Together” has grown from this interest and desire to share.
