Franciscan Seminarians - Assisi: June 2012

http://thefranciscanfriars.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html

Franciscan Seminarians - Assisi. Thursday, June 28, 2012. Servant of the Word. Friar Alfonso recounts receiving the ministry of lector. For me this ministry is gift that has its source in the love of God the Father. It is a sign of the trust and of the esteem that He has for me, and that requires of me a daily decision to meditate on, pray, and put into practice the Holy Scriptures, such that I can announce and testify to the Christian faith above all through my life, day after day. With much love,.

Franciscan Seminarians - Assisi: December 2011

http://thefranciscanfriars.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html

Franciscan Seminarians - Assisi. Thursday, December 8, 2011. Why would 15 young Franciscan friars (re: vows of poverty, chastity and obedience) decide post their lives online? In today’s fast-paced materialistic society, who would want to read about a group of men who have decided to drop career ambitions to focus on prayer and community life? And doesn’t their vow of poverty somehow conflict with the use of technology? So does this mean we want everyone to live like us? Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). The G...

Franciscan Seminarians - Assisi. Sunday, August 26, 2012. Seed Sown in the Desert. A Franciscan presence on the streets of Taranto. 8220;If a grain of wheat… dies, it produces much fruit” (John 12,24). During the month of July, spent with the friars in Taranto, the challenge of how to create human relationships with the locals provoked me to seek out the correct attitude to have, the right words to say in the midst of this conflict-oriented atmosphere. What to do in this situation? I found the answer in ...

Franciscan Seminarians - Assisi: April 2012

http://thefranciscanfriars.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html

Franciscan Seminarians - Assisi. Monday, April 30, 2012. Young Friars Fill Assisi. European Franciscans in formation meet for renewal and fellowship. With religious life in Europe declining, the sight of 300 young Franciscan friars filling Assisi’s narrow medieval streets the week after Easter almost seemed out of place, a page out of a glorious past. Yet despite the “success” of the large number of participants, I did not sense that the week was about glorying in our numbers. The French model was praise...

Franciscan Seminarians - Assisi: Youth and Vocations

http://thefranciscanfriars.blogspot.com/2012/08/youth-and-vocations.html

Franciscan Seminarians - Assisi. Sunday, August 19, 2012. A Summer Camp in Search of God's Calling. In order to dig into the authentic meaning of the word “vocation” we used the character of Pinocchio as an example. It turned out to be a useful means of self-discovery, and day after day I watched the young campers open up more fully to comprehending their personal calling. This, in brief, was the message Mons. Nuncio Galantino gave the campers while meeting with them. He encouraged them to always...This ...

Franciscan Seminarians - Assisi: March 2012

http://thefranciscanfriars.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html

Franciscan Seminarians - Assisi. Friday, March 30, 2012. Pastoral Service in the Parish: A Journey of Friendship. In September when my rector told me what pastoral work I would be doing this year, I did not imagine that it would be so difficult and enriching. I was asked to teach catechism in the St. Rufino Parish, the cathedral of Assisi. However, I did not expect the additional request, made by the parish priest, that I lead the post-confirmation group for adolescents. The goal was to construct relatio...
