The original talks were presented in many languages. We have had most of them translated. Unfortunately, there are some not yet translated.

This has been an impressive gathering of members of the Franciscan Family worldwide, together with the respective Ministers General. The Chapter commemorated 800 years of Franciscan presence and history in the Church, ever since the approval of the first Form of Life written by Saint Francis and presented to Pope Innocent III in the spring of 1209. This issue of our Franciscan Review is dedicated in a special way to this event. It is important for all Franciscans, especially younger Franciscans in formation, to appreciate our roots and our history, in order to love our Family that has been one of the greatest achievements of the Catholic Church. I was talking to some of our young friars from the Holy Land Custody of the Friars Minor who took part in this Chapter of Quarterly journal of 88 Mats. Like many others of their age they returned enthusiastic and Franciscan culture published enriched by their experience. They told me that they appreciated since April 1986 the talks given by prominent Franciscan leaders and scholars, as well as the special audience given to them by Pope Benedict XVI at Computer Setting: Castel Gandolfo.

  • Franciscan Youth Today
    FRANCISCAN YOUTH TODAY XIII General Chapter of the OFS Sao Paolo, October 28, 2011 Ana Fruk, Presidency councilor for YouFra 1. YOUFRA AS AN ANSWER TO THE CHALLENGES OF OUR TIME When I was preparing this report, I was thinking about what the most important issues are for YouFra today. While I was reading different texts to prepare myself, I found words of blessed Pope John Paul II which he spoke during the Vigil for the Feast of Pentecost in 1998 and which also express a very clear call for Franciscan Youth: “Thus we see an urgent need for powerful proclamation and solid, in-depth Christian formation. There is so much need today for mature Christian personalities, conscious of their baptismal identity, of their vocation and mission in the Church and in the world! There is great need for living Christian communities! And here are the movements and the new ecclesial communities: they are the response, given by the Holy Spirit, to this critical challenge at the end of the millennium. You are this providential response.” Keeping in mind this last sentence: “You are this providential response”, I thought of the responsibility that Franciscan youth has towards the Church and society in which we live. Reading different documents of the OFS on YouFra, I see this same message is recognized by the OFS. That is why in the past several years the attention has been given to YouFra and its development. Here I would like to say a few words on several issues about YouFra which mostly coincide with the Conclusions of the last General Chapter held in Hungary – formation, presence in the world, communication and emerging fraternities.

  • General Constitutions of the Secular Franciscan Order
    THE FIRST ORDER AND THE TOR Rome, January 1, 2001 Feast of Mary, mother of God Dear Sister Emanuela, the Lord give you peace! The Congregation for Institutes of Consecrated Life and Societies of Apostolic Life has on December 8, 2000, issued the Decree (Prot. n. T. 144-1/2000) of approval of the General Constitutions of the Secular Franciscan Order, as revised by the General Chapter of the SFO at Madrid in October 1999 and subsequently submitted by the President of the Conference of General Ministers of the First Order and the TOR. Now, also in name of the other general Ministers, I am entrusting the approved text of the Constitutions to you, and through you, to all brothers and sisters of the SFO. The common vocation of the whole Franciscan family, from its very beginning in the overpowering spiritual experience of Francis and Clare, is "to live according to the form of the Holy Gospel". The Constitutions reveal themselves to be an ever more important help to incarnate this one vocation in the rich variety of its manifold expressions, wherever and whenever the Lord sends us. They are not just "one more document" or the final stage of a journey, but an essential and dynamic instrument helping us to delineate our identity and to structure progressively our life and our vocation as Franciscans. The work of reflection and revision by so many brothers and sisters all over the world and the approval by Holy mother Church, commit us to make these Constitutions the central axis of our life's project according to the gospel.

This Seminar was born out of the desire to give new impetus to the theology of consecrated apostolic life and to take stock of its identity in this changing times which we live, with its challenges and opportunities and therefore, it had as theme “Identity and Significance of Consecrated Apostolic Life”. For this Seminar, twenty General Superiors from the two Unions (UISG and USG) and thirty theologians (15 women and 15 men) have been invited to reflect on what is emerging in this our time and what God is telling us through it.
