Feast of Saint Francis de Assis -2023

"...Agitator of a world in agony and peacemaker of the ravenous wolf: put me on the list of your madmen and teach me to be free, Friar Francisco!..."    (Buenagente de Cortés)

 

 

 

 

 

 

As we celebrate the feast of St Francis of Assisi, eight centuries of a spirituality that shapes our charism and inspires us to live the Gospel, actively resonates within us.  The Rule, which Francis left us, is a "way of life" through which the "desire to have the Spirit of the Lord and his holy way of working" is expressed. (LR X, 8) We let ourselves be captivated by it! 

On the "road to Greccio", dazzled by the mystery of the Incarnation, we contemplate the greatness of Divine Love, the sap of fraternity where "in diversity, unity flourishes". ​We hope, dear Sisters, that this day will be for all of us a day of prayer, joy, sharing, creativity... intertwining threads of friendship and festivity.
