  • SECULAR CONSECRATION: Section Two - Chapter One
    SECULAR CONSECRATION: Section Two - Chapter One We now come to the heart of what membership in a secular Institute entails, what distinguishes it from other associations of the faithful. It is the full profession of the evangelical councils of celibate chastity, poverty and obedience. Secular institutes are parallel to Religious institutes such as Jesuits and Franciscans in that both profess the evangelical counsels and are recognized by the Church. Other associations may live in the “spirit” of the counsels such as “Third Orders” (often now called “secular orders”) which often creates confusion between them and secular institutes but there are key differences. Third orders do not profess vows and do not commit themselves to lives of celibate chastity. It is the commitment to perpetual celibate chastity that distinguishes Religious or Secular Institutes from of groupings of Christians. Secular and Religious Institutes make vows or similar promises that are morally binding. They place themselves under the Superiors of these Institutes who have real authority over their members that are morally binding. The Code on Canon Law dealing with secular Institutes state that the profession of the counsels in a secular Institute may be made by vow, oath or another recognized expression of consecration. All members of secular institutes must make a binding profession by vow or oath to celibate chastity and make vows or binding promises of poverty and obedience. While not trying to appear excessively juridical it is important to understand that profession in a secular institute entails a full, total and complete consecration of self no less than in vowed Religious life.

  • Who Are the Secular Franciscans, and What Do They Do?
    Who are the Secular Franciscans, and what do they do? The Secular Franciscan Order is a vocation, a Way of Life approved by the Church, for men and women, married or single, who are called to take an active part in the mission of Christ to bring "the good news of salvation" to the world. Secular Franciscans commit themselves to a life in Christ calling for a positive effort to promote Gospel attitudes among their contemporaries. They are united with each other in communities, through which they develop a sense of direction according to the Gospel spirit of Saint Francis of Assisi. FRANCIS, the saint known and loved the world over, was born at Assisi, central Italy, in the year 1181, the son of a wealthy merchant. He died there in 1226, after a life in Christ that earned him the title Poverelo (little poor man). As a youth, Francis had a series of powerful incidents of conversion, including a vision in which Jesus told him to "rebuild my church, for it is falling into ruin." He found Jesus in the poor and suffering, especially the lepers. He and his followers became visible exemplars of a literal Christian life. In the words of Pope Pius XI, "So lifelike and strikingly did the image of Jesus Christ and the Gospel manner of life shine forth in Francis, that he appeared to his contemporaries almost as though he were the Risen Christ." Saint Francis attained this marvelous ideal by making the holy Gospel, in every detail, the rule and standard of his life.

  • Magnetorheological Fluid and Its Applications
    International Journal of Current Engineering and Technology E-ISSN 2277 – 4106, P-ISSN 2347 – 5161 ©2017 INPRESSCO®, All Rights Reserved Available at http://inpressco.com/category/ijcet Research Article Magnetorheological Fluid and its Applications Pranav Gadekar*, V.S.Kanthale and N.D.Khaire Mechanical Department, MITCOE, Pune University, Pune, Maharashtra, India Accepted 12 March 2017, Available online 16 March 2017, Special Issue-7 (March 2017) Abstract A Magneto rheological Fluid (MRF) is a Smart fluid whose viscosity can be varied by application of magnetic field. The MR Fluid has vast applications in various engineering as well as day to day life. There is huge potential that this revolutionary material will provide many leading edge applications. The fluid has applications in various fields such as automotive industry, household applications, prosthetics, civil engineering, hydraulics, brakes and clutches, etc. Also there is a possible application of the fluid in reducing the effect of Gun Recoil. This paper will describe these applications and working of proposed application. Keywords: MR Fluid, Viscosity, Dampers, Prosthetics, Gun Recoil. 1. Introduction To take full advantage of MRF technologythe base fluid must have a low viscosity and it should be constant 1 Rheos is a Greek word to Flow. Rheology is the science with temperature. This is required for variation due to if material flow under external load conditions. The applied magnetic field to be more effective than natural word Magnetorheological Fluid means fluid whose viscosity. The presences of suspended particles make apparent viscosity increases, with application of base fluid thicker. Commonly used base fluids are MAGNETIC field. Also known as MR fluids, these fluids mineral oils, hydrocarbon oils, and Silicon oils.
