Frati Francescani in Capitolo


Two hours of sharing, listening and discussion on the various programs planned to celebrate the 800 years of Perdono di Assisi in 2016 and the Ite Vos of Pope Leo in 2017, the friars took a break. During the break the friars were taken around to show our renovated Curia....all of them appreciated the work and the finishing of the house....after which we  gathered for the Holy eucharist presided over by Br. Mauro our general Minister. 
 The friars were simply taken up by our chapel which is conducive for prayer and meditation...

 Friars participating in the Eucharist....as sons of St. Francis with one heart and mind to come together and give a common witness to the world. we have charisma and rule common, then what stops us to be united....
 Br. Mark proclaims the word of God.....

General Minister, as usual preached a short but very meaningful and thought provoking homily. He connected the Gospel of the day with our desire for common ventures....He said we need to give up many things....
 Our Cook Mr. Claudio always comes out with his best skills in culinary ....he does everything with hear....we love you Claudio....
 Friars enjoying the food but didn't want to leave the refectory because they got involved in chatting and sharing about work and apostate....great to have these kind of encounters....


 Our refectory is a feast for an eye....it is simple yet looks great.....

 Four General Ministers with their councilors....about 34 of us....great to be together....what a moment to be remembered......
