NEW FRATERNITY REGISTER Barbara Acri, Beatriz Frometa, and Liduvino Medina, attended the Annual Chapter of the Saint Margaret of Cortona Region, in Takoma Park, Maryland.

Since Deacon Bello was unable to attend the Annual Chapter, Barbara presented the new Register to Patrick Martin OFS, the Regional Minister, who will take the new Register to Deacon Bello. FRATERNITY’S ANNIVERSARY Our Fraternity was established 69 years ago, on January 16, 1944. The anniversary of our establishment is observed on the memorial of the first martyrs of the Franciscan Order January 16 - Sts. Berard, priest, and companions, protomartyrs of the Order Please remember in your prayers on this day, all the deceased brothers, sisters, and spiritual assistants, of our Fraternity. Our Fraternity is here today because of them. FEEDING THE BIRDS ON CHRISTMAS “If ever I speak with the Emperor,” he would say, “I will beg him to issue a general decree that all who can should throw wheat and grain along the roads, so that on the day of such a great solemnity the birds may have an abundance, especially our sisters the larks.” Saint Francis, from 2 Celano 200 Once again this year, our Fraternity members will be distributing packets of bird seed after Mass on Christmas at some of our parishes. To prepare the packets of bird seed, interested Fraternity members are asked to bring Glad sealable sandwich bags, along with several pounds of good quality bird seed, to Barbara Acri’s home, on Sunday, December 2nd, from 2:00 - 4:00 PM FRATERNAL DAY OF PENANCE All fraternity members are asked to join together in a Fraternal Day of Penance every month on the Wednesday following our Fraternity meeting. Our intentions for the coming months are December: for all the countries in the world where the Church is being persecuted January: those serving our country overseas HOLY NAME OF JESUS MEMORIAL The Holy Name of Jesus is celebrated as a memorial on January 3rd. Please note the Saint Joseph Prayer Guide for the Liturgy of the Hours Christian Prayer Edition – correctly references where to find the proper prayers 4-Volume Edition – incorrectly states that no official texts yet exist in English. You will be able to find the proper prayers for the 4-Volume Edition beginning on page 31 in the Proper Offices of Franciscan Saints and Blesseds. SAINT JOSEPH PRAYER GUIDES We received the new Saint Joseph Prayer Guides for 2013 for the Liturgy of the Hours. The new Prayer Guides will be at the December Fraternity meeting. If you do not already have your new Prayer Guide, and you are unable to attend, the new Prayer Guide will be mailed to you. The Prayer Guides are $3.50 each. Please place this amount in an envelope marked “Prayer Guides” and give or mail the envelope to our treasurer Elsie Arnold. PRAY FOR VOCATIONS Please continue to pray for vocations. Please remember vocations in your daily Mass intentions. Each day, during Morning and Evening Prayer, after the intercessions, please take a moment and add the National Prayer for Vocations to the Secular Franciscan Order. PROMOTIONAL LITERATURE Elsie Arnold recently adopted Saint Cecilia Church in Lebanon. Our promotional literature is currently being displayed in seventeen Churches, and the Cathedral Chapel. We thank everyone for all of their hard work. If you would like to adopt an additional church, please call or email Stephen Hurtak. Remember to ask for more brochures at least two weeks before you expect to run out of brochures. “FIRST CONTACT” CARDS All fraternity members have their own “first contact” cards. The cards are an easy and convenient way for you to give someone your name and contact information at any time that you feel it is appropriate. If someone is interested in the Secular Franciscan Order, please give them your card, and let them know they can call or email you at any time. Please remember in your prayers, all who are remembered below Please notify David or Maryann Artz of any additions or corrections.

Reflections on Pope Benedict XVI’s monthly prayer intentions by the Apostleship of Prayer http://www.apostleshipofprayer.org/reflectionsMonthly.html Please remember your Liturgy of the Hours for Evening Prayer As Secular Franciscans, we are expected to pray both Morning and Evening Prayer each day. If you would like one-on-one help with the Liturgy of the Hours, either by getting together in person, or by phone, email, or webcam, Stephen Hurtak has offered to be of service in any way that he can help. Also, a short hand-out “Learning to Pray Morning and Evening Prayer” is available, and would be a perfect way to review whether you are correctly praying the Liturgy of the Hours.

  • Franciscan Proper Saints
    1 Franciscan ProPer of the saints January 2 1. The rank of the celebration (solemnity, feast or memorial) is indicated for each day. If there is no indication, it is an optional memorial. 2. For each solemnity and feast a proper Mass is provided in its entirety. This is therefore used as given. 3. For memorials: a) Proper texts, given on some days, must always be used; b) When there is a reference to a particular common, the most appropriate texts should be chosen according to the principles at the beginning of the commons. The page reference in each case indicates only the beginning of the common to which reference is made. c) If the rederence is to more than one common, one or the other may be used, according to pastoral need. It is always permissible to interchange texts from several Masses within the same common. For example, if a saint is both a martyr and a bishop, either the common of martyrs or the common of pastor (bishops) may be used. d) In addition to the commons which express a special characteristic holiness (e.g., of martyrs, virgins, or pastors), the texts from the common of saints, referring to holiness in general may always be used. For example, in the case of a saint who is both a virgin and a martyr, texts from the common of saints in general may be used, in addition to texts from the common of martyrs or the common of virgins. e) The prayers over the gifts and after communion, unless there are proper prayers, may be taken either from the common or from the current liturgical season.
