Today, we joyfully commemorate the Stigmata of our Seraphic Father, St. Francis of Assisi; the moment when he received in his body the wounds of Christ, a profound sign of his deep conformity to the Crucified Lord.

Francis desired not merely to follow Christ from afar, but to become more like Him in love, humility, sacrifice, and service. The wounds he received reminds us that vocation is ultimately a call to love Christ so deeply that our lives begin to bear His image.

May the example of St. Francis inspire us, especially those who are discerning to be a Franciscan to embrace the Gospel with courage, to serve with humility, and to carry Christ’s love wherever we are sent.

Maybe the question is not “Am I worthy?”
but “Am I willing to say yes?”

God still calls. He calls ordinary hearts to an extraordinary journey of faith, fraternity, service, and love.

If you feel that gentle invitation in your heart, don’t be afraid to take the first step. The journey may not always be easy, but it can lead you to a life of deeper joy, purpose, and encounter with Christ.

Come, Brother—the journey begins.
Be a Franciscan. Be a brother to all.

The Student Friars of St. Bonaventure House of Studies joyfully opened the Season of Creation with a special liturgy centered on the theme “Living Waters.”

May Christ, the source of Living Water, renew our hearts and inspire us to care for our common home and all of God’s creation.

“If you haven’t been to Confession for a long time, perhaps this is your sign to come home.” 🤍🙏

Confession is not only for those who think they are “bad.” It is for everyone who recognizes their need for God’s mercy. Even priests and religious go to Confession because, like everyone else, we are sinners continually in need of forgiveness, healing, and grace.

We do not go to Confession because we are perfect; we go because we need God's mercy.

The confessional is not a place of condemnation, but an encounter with the mercy of a Father who never stops waiting for His children.
