So often, and rightly so, we ‘cling to’ the LOS TRES CAMPAÑEROS REGIONAL final words, expressions and actions of our dying loved ones. Has this gathering, this prayer, http://lostrescompaneros.org/ this ritual, this reading become ‘what we do,’ merely a practice? How does this ‘dying’ connect with our living and doing the Gospel, truly our work as followers of the poor Francis?” We image Francis, weak, frail, struggling for one breath … and another … then his request that the INTERNATIONAL FRATERNITY Gospel of John 13 be read, beginning with the words, “Six days before the Passover…” http://www.ciofs.org/ Tonight, I chose to open the text of the way Francis died using ‘midrash’ a Hebrew word, using a story as a way to open up the text. In so doing, new insight comes and often a ‘fresh’ FRANCISCAN RULE perspective. We, humans, tend to focus on what is right before us, as if that is all there is. https://secularfranciscansusa.org/the- However, as this drama of the Transitus of Francis was unfolding in Assisi, there is another vast reality on ‘the other side of the veil’ – unseen but real and true – ! rule-of-the-secular-franciscan-order/ The conversation might be like this … “The Sending of Sister Death” The Angel Sister Bodily GENERAL CONSTITUTIONS Death could no way call Francis home, could not gather Francis’ blessed soul. Francis was https://secularfranciscansusa.org/the- ready it seemed, but not yet. Francis had given the final message, now he would turn over his general-constitutions-of-the-secular- Life Word. God said to Francis, “You have been the message without words.

This is beyond an angel’s strength.” NAFRA STATUTES https://secularfranciscansusa.org/wp- Then God said to Michael, prince of all the angels, “You go and bring Francis home.” With tears Michael begs release, he’d rather bend low in homage of this man of God for Francis was so content/uploads/2017/12/OFS_Nationa like Jesus, following in word and deed, there was none like unto Francis. Then Satan asked for l_Statutes_FINAL_07_24_13_OFS_withSi leave to collect the man. Girding with great cruelty, wrapping in wrath and rage, the wicked gnatures.pdf one came upon Francis, lying naked with seraph marked wounds shining bright.

Franciscana-Winter-2017-2018.pdf Reflection Oct. 3, 2011 - Sr. Patricia Fritz, OSF Rochester, MN Transitus, October 2011 THE FRANCISCAN ARCHIVE Excerpt http://www.franfed.org/index_htm_files/Transitus_S%20PAT_FRITZ_2011.pdf https://franciscan- archive.org/index2.html THE CLARION OCTOBER 2018 MONTH OF THE HOLY ROSARY The month of October is dedicated to the Holy Rosary. According to an account by fifteenth-century Dominican, Alan de la Roch, Mary appeared to St. Dominic in 1206 after he had been praying and doing severe penances because of his lack of success in combating the Albigensian heresy. Mary praised him for his valiant fight against the heretics and then gave him the Rosary as a mighty weapon, explained its uses and efficacy, and told him to preach it to others. "Since the prayers of the Rosary come from such excellent sources — from Our Lord Himself, from inspired Scripture, and from the Church — it is not surprising that the Rosary is so dear to our Blessed Mother and so powerful with heaven. "If we consider the power of the Rosary as seen in its effects, we find a great abundance of proofs of its wonderful value. Many are the favors granted to private individuals through its devout recitation: there are few devoted users of the Rosary who cannot testify to experiencing its power in their own lives. If we turn to history, we see many great triumphs of the Rosary. Early tradition attributes the defeat of the Albigensians at the Battle of Muret in 1213 to the Rosary. But even those who do not accept this tradition will admit that St. Pius V attributed the great defeat of the Turkish fleet on the first Sunday of October, 1571, to the fact that at the same time the Rosary confraternities at Rome and elsewhere were holding their processions. Accordingly, he ordered a commemoration of the Rosary to be made on that day. Two years later, Gregory XIII allowed the celebration of a feast of the Rosary in churches having an altar dedicated to the Rosary. In 1671, Clement X extended the feast to all Spain. A second great victory over the Turks, who once, like the Russians, threatened the ruin of Christian civilization, occurred on August 5, 1716, when Prince Eugene defeated them at Peterwardein in Hungary. Thereupon Clement XI extended the feast of the Rosary to the whole Church. "Today, when dangers far greater than those of the ancient Turks threaten not only Christianity but all civilization, we are urged by our Blessed Mother to turn again to the Rosary for help. If men in sufficient numbers do this, and at the same time carry out the other conditions that she has laid down, we have the greater reason for confidence that we will be delivered from our dangers." -- Mary in our Life by Fr. William G.

  • The Catholic Church in the Czech Republic
    The Catholic Church in the Czech Republic Dear Readers, The publication on the Ro- man Catholic Church which you are holding in your hands may strike you as history that belongs in a museum. How- ever, if you leaf through it and look around our beauti- ful country, you may discover that it belongs to the present as well. Many changes have taken place. The history of the Church in this country is also the history of this nation. And the history of the nation, of the country’s inhabitants, always has been and still is the history of the Church. The Church’s mission is to serve mankind, and we want to fulfil Jesus’s call: “I did not come to be served but to serve.” The beautiful and unique pastoral constitution of Vatican Coun- cil II, the document “Joy and Hope” begins with the words: “The joys and the hopes, the grief and the anxieties of the men of this age, especially those who are poor or in any way afflicted, these are the joys and hopes, the grief and anxieties of the followers of Christ.” This is the task that hundreds of thousands of men and women in this country strive to carry out. According to expert statistical estimates, approximately three million Roman Catholics live in our country along with almost twenty thousand of our Eastern broth- ers and sisters in the Greek Catholic Church, with whom we are in full communion. There are an additional million Christians who belong to a variety of other Churches. Ecumenical cooperation, which was strengthened by decades of persecution and bullying of the Church, is flourishing remarkably in this country.

  • THE DISSEMINATION and RECEPTION of the ORDINES ROMANI in the CAROLINGIAN CHURCH, C.750-900
    THE DISSEMINATION AND RECEPTION OF THE ORDINES ROMANI IN THE CAROLINGIAN CHURCH, c.750-900 Arthur Robert Westwell Queens’ College 09/2017 This dissertation is submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy 2 Arthur Robert Westwell Thesis Summary: The Dissemination and Reception of the Ordines Romani in the Carolingian Church, c.750- 900. The ordines romani are products of a ninth-century attempt to correct liturgy across Europe. Hitherto, scholarship has almost exclusively focused on them as sources for the practices of the city of Rome, narrowly defined, disregarding how they were received creatively and reinterpreted in a set of fascinating manuscripts which do not easily fit into traditional categories. This thesis re- envisages these special texts as valuable testimonies of intent and principle. In the past few decades of scholarship, it has been made very clear that what occurred under the Carolingians in the liturgy did not involve the imposition of the Roman rite from above. What was ‘Roman’ and ‘correct’ was decided by individuals, each in their own case, and they created and edited texts for what they needed. These individuals were part of intensive networks of exchange, and, broadly, they agreed on what they were attempting to accomplish. Nevertheless, depending on their own formation, and the atmosphere of their diocese, the same ritual content could be interpreted in numerous different ways. Ultimately, this thesis aims to demonstrate the usefulness of applying new techniques of assessing liturgical manuscripts, as total witnesses whose texts interpret each other, to the ninth century. Each of the ordo romanus manuscripts of the ninth century preserves a fascinating glimpse into the process of working out what ‘correct’ liturgy looked like, by people intensely invested in that proposition.
