Secular Franciscans holding General Chapter in Rome November 9-16. In welcoming remarks after the opening Mass Nov. 9, Minister General Tibor Kauser, OFS, reminded delegates, or capitulars, that the purpose of a Chapter “is to study, review, and make plans concerning our life and apostolic vocation.”

He encouraged them to keep in mind “our Secular Franciscan Vocation” while addressing the “main theme of the Chapter – ‘You Are Love’.” Despite our “many jobs, tasks and duties, we have to return to the focus of our life”; namely, that “God loves us and we have to share this love with others.”

Pointing to the fact that attendees are now participants in an international fraternity, he urged them to “discover the beauty of the life this kind of fraternity will bring!” Treat one another as brother and sister, he said, and “do not be afraid of conflicts” because understanding and reconciliation will be all the better for it.

17th Sunday in Ordinary Time

By freeing some individuals from the earthly evils of hunger, injustice, illness, and death (Jn 6:5-15), Jesus performed messianic signs. Nevertheless he did not come to abolish all evils here below (Lk 12:13-14), but to free men from the gravest slavery, sin, which thwarts them in their vocation as God’s sons and causes all forms of human bo***ge (Jn 8:34-36).
~CCC 549

How has Jesus fed you recently to give you strength in your vocation as a daughter or son of God?

Christ is our center around which our lives revolve, our axis mundi.
He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. For in him were created all things in heaven and on earth, the visible and the invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers; all things were created through him and for him.

~Col 1:15-16
