Merry Christmas Friends from all the brothers!

Let us rejoice and be glad that our Savior Jesus Christ comes to us as a precious baby. Someone so precious, so gentle, so approachable, so loving, so small, all wrapped up in swaddling clothes.

Friends Christmas is not about having everything right or making sure I’m living out a perfect life. Rather it is about opening our self’s to make room for God in our lives to invite Him in to our Chaos, our brokenness. So He the Living Word of God, can restore the everlasting friendship God desires to have with His beloved children.

Let us contemplate the great mystery of the Incarnation, because it a story of Who Love is and what Love can do in our Lives. And we have a manifestation of God’s Love reminding with us in the Eucharist.

So let us come all the Faithful and let us Adore Him! The one who we call Lord and Prince of peace, and Emmanuel “God with us”

Feliz Navidad

“En verdad os digo que esa pobre viuda ha echado más que todos, porque todos esos han contribuido a los donativos con lo que les sobra, pero ella, que pasa necesidad, ha echado todo lo que tenía para vivir”

“Em verdade vos digo: Esta viúva pobre deu mais do que todos os outros. Todos eles deram do que lhes sobrava; mas ela, na sua penúria, ofereceu tudo o que possuía para viver”

“In verità vi dico: questa vedova, così povera, ha gettato più di tutti. Tutti costoro, infatti, hanno gettato come offerta parte del loro superfluo. Ella invece, nella sua miseria, ha gettato tutto quello che aveva per vivere”

“I tell you truly,
this poor widow put in more than all the rest;
for those others have all made offerings from their surplus wealth,
but she, from her poverty, has offered her whole livelihood.”

Gospel Luke 21:1-4

“In His Goodness God Calls all Christian faithful in the Church to the perfection of love through different states of life, so that the salvation of the world may be advanced by means of personal holiness.”

“Et all of us gratefully rejoice that God has given us the exceptional grace of a religious vocation .”

“In this way as a pilgrim brotherhood, penitent in heart and deed we devote ourselves to the Church’s mission of salvation, serving all people in spirit of minority and joy.”

-from our Capuchin Constitutions. (Ch II Art. The Vocation to Our Life)

Lord teach how to Pray!

The Our Father is a prayer that usually everyone knows by heart but do recognize it’s great significance or so we treat as just another routine prayer?

The Our Father, makes great significant claims, by simply calling out to the Father and You are Our Father who i am calling right now. We are saying that there is a relationship that is established, a relationship of adoption through Jesus Christ.

And by taking the the example of Christ, who always did the will of the Father so to do we invoke in the Our Father prayer to to His Divine Will.

We ask to be fed by Him
We ask to forgiven and to receive the Grace to forgive others.
We as for protection not to fall into temptation.

We ask the Father to remain in us and we in Him so we can choose the Good and not evil.

Today take time to meditate and pray the Our Father, say it slowly if you have to or say it couple of times in order recognize what our heavenly Father wants to teach us today. And let us also invoke the the people of Israel and Gaza and offer an Our Father for them that Peace my reign upon them and the whole world.

These past couple of days have been so special.

As the Body of Christ we had the opportunity to celebrate and rejoice what the Lord is capable in the example of the Lives of the Saints. Because all the Saints like Little Therese to St Jerome and Saint Francis have something very in common, They all point to Christ, because it is the footprints of Christ that the walked.

We as Capuchin Franciscans rejoiced in the great teachings of our Founder. Our Dominican preacher Fr Bonaventure pointed out in his homily that “ Francis was so rooted in Christ that his whole outlook of life on this earth were seeing through the eyes of Christ.”

Let us follow the example of our Seraphic Father Francis of Assisi and all the saint in walking this earth in the footsteps of Jesus Christ, let us get everybody’s attention and point them to our Lord Jesus especially in the Eucharist.
