Bloggin’ Friars at franciscans.org

May the Lord give you His peace! We often experience a wholesome pride in the heritage from which we come and in which we share in our lives. Such heritage can be ethnic or national or simply pride in the neighborhood and city where we grew from childhood to adulthood. I suppose in many ways, the joy of being in Assisi the last few days once again has put be in touch with the spiritual heritage of Franciscanism. Our Franciscan heritage was born in this holy place 800 years ago through the passionate love of the Lord of Francis of Assisi, Clare of Assisi and their early companions. To walk where Francis and Clare walked, to pray where they prayed, to visit where each one died, and to reverence where each one is buried reminds me of the incredible spiritual heritage of Gospel living in communion with the Church that is Franciscan life. The desire of both Francis and Clare was “to live the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ” and always in the communion that is the Catholic Church. The young man, Francesco Bernardone, walked into the dilapidated chapel of San Damiano, lonely, afraid, confused, and struggling. In that dark moment of despair and frustration, he heard the Lord’s call to repair His church. God calls and invites even in the darkest moments of our lives. In a Church that still struggles on a continent that recently welcomed the Bishop of Rome and his incredible words of hope, Franciscan men and women in North America and throughout the world still live the heritage of Gospel living in obedience, without anything of our own, and in chastity. This life is not easy, at times it is overwhelming, but it is always wonderful as God’s grace continues to fill us and lead us and guide us. As I have prayed these days at the tombs of St. Francis and St. Clare, as I have concelebrated the Eucharist and read the Scriptures, as I have sat in quiet contemplation with my brothers from so many different countries, I have rejoiced repeatedly in the Gospel heritage and Franciscan way of life that God has called me to share. Devotion to Francis and Clare like devotion to any of the saints is centered in a passionate love of God. I love the Lord and still I hope that I can love the Lord as much as Francis did. I love the Lord and still I want that love to be as passionate as Clare’s love of the Lord was. I want to persevere like they did. I want to hope as they have taught us how to hope. I want to love and to believe as they loved and believed. I want God to accomplish in me all that he accomplished in them if only I can let go of my will and let God’s grace work more in me and through me. The world is so different than it was 800 years ago. Just as Francis, Clare and their early followers responded to the needs of the Church, the world and the poor in their day and age, these two saints have so many brothers and sisters who continually respond to the needs of the Church, the world and the poor in this day and age. Those early days of the friars and the sisters in Assisi were filled with excitement and enthusiasm. These present days of the friars and sisters throughout the world are also filled with excitement and enthusiasm. I just wanted you to know that. I guess I am here in Assisi today to know that better too. Peace and all good!

May the Lord give you His peace! With a blog, I can share a lot about our lives as friars, but with the written word I am limited in sharing the fervor and joy in our lives. This limitation really hit home for me here in Italy. What an incredible privilege I had to be a guest for two days at our Generalate (our Order’s central administration) at the Church of Santi Apostoli in Rome. Friars from all over the world pass through that place. Having spent two days there, I am now at the Sacro Convento at the Basilica of St. Francis in Assisi. Both places have a number of friars from different countries living in the friary or visiting. It is incredible to be with friars from Italy, Poland, Croatia, Zambia, China, Switzerland, Slovenia, Vietnam, Korea, Colombia, Australia, Canada, the United States and other countries as well. We come from different countries and different cultures. Often we speak different languages. We like different foods. Yet, right away, I notice two things in this mix of friars. First, the profound common silence we enter as we gather in the church to pray. Secondly, I am struck at how much we laugh at meals and at recreation. The laughter is so contagious at times. It is hard to discern what is funnier, the story (“ A funny thing happened to me on the way to Rome or Assisi. . . .”) or sharing the story in such a way that it can be translated into different languages for everyone to enjoy. As we gather at two different tables in the same house, at the first table (the altar) to be nourished by Word and Sacrament and at the second table (in the dining room) to be nourished by food and drink, I am struck by how what we do at both places enriches our fraternity and helps us to love one another as brothers in the way that Christ loves us all. Here in Assisi as in Rome, I am a friar from the United States, sharing in the Eucharist with my brothers from so many different countries. As we listen to the proclamation of the Gospel, as we share the sacred bread and drink the precious blood, we are in communion with one another as brothers, in communion with the Church and in communion with the risen and glorified Christ, truly present in the Eucharist. Differences in language, culture, and ethnicity are no obstacles to our communion. Amidst the laughter, there are also the serious conversations about particular challenges of the Church and the Order in such places as China, Russia, Europe, Korea, Africa, Latin America and North America. With the frivolity, there are also the words of encouragement and fraternal support. So many friars from so many countries and such a joy to be together. As friars, we often repeat those famous words of Francis of Assisi, “The Lord gave me brothers.” The repetition of that phrase can undermine the deep significance of these words. The Lord has given us brothers and continues to give us brothers. What an incredible gift God has given us in this order – the gift of our fraternity. Yes, we’re not always laughing. And yes, every moment is not a joy. Still, I have always found that as much as we friars may disagree at times (what brothers don’t disagree at times?), as differently as we may think at times, we ALWAYS find time to pray, we always find time to laugh, and we always have each other. Prayer and laughter are just some of the joys of being a friar. I can write about it and try to explain it, but it is not the same as the experience of being in this fraternity with my brothers from so many places. Peace and all good!

May the Lord give you His peace! On Sunday, April 20, I went to Ground Zero in New York City and waited for the pope to arrive. I did not have any special pass to get into the prayer service there, but I wanted to be in that place on that morning. Here I was, as the Successor of Peter came to pray in a place, first marred by the scars of violence and the hatred of terrorists and then made holy by the love and prayers of those who lost loved ones here on September 11, 2001. I waited for a few hours with a small crowd at the corner of Liberty Street and West Street. We could not see much more than the arrival of the pope in a limousine, his move into Ground Zero in the pope mobile, and then his departure in his limousine. We could not see the activity below nor hear the prayer service. As we stood at that corner and along West Street, there was this hushed silence. I was struck by the diversity of languages spoken. I recognized the different ethnic backgrounds and races of the people on that corner. I stood there in my Franciscan habit and the women standing next to me were Muslim women in their traditional dresses and veils. We stood there, in a spontaneous hush, reverencing the moment, praying in our different ways, longing for a lasting and just peace in our world. Hatred will never conquer love. Darkness does not consume the light. May the light of Christ dispel the darkness of our hearts and of our world. I stood in the crowd as a Franciscan Friar, a native New Yorker who also wants to be an instrument of peace like Francis of Assisi. My time there was a simple gesture and still profound one. We were a diverse group on that street corner. Down below in Ground Zero the pope prayed with the widows and family members of people who died there. On different sides of the street, in different parts of the city, and in different parts of the world, all of us were united in prayer for peace.

“O God of love, compassion, and healing,
look on us, people of many different faiths
and traditions,
who gather today at this site,
the scene of incredible violence and pain.

“We ask you in your goodness
to give eternal light and peace
to all who died here—
the heroic first-responders:
our fire fighters, police officers,
emergency service workers, and
Port Authority personnel,
along with all the innocent men and women
who were victims of this tragedy
simply because their work or service
brought them here on September 11, 2001.

“We ask you, in your compassion
to bring healing to those
who, because of their presence here that day,
suffer from injuries and illness.
Heal, too, the pain of still-grieving families
and all who lost loved ones in this tragedy.
Give them strength to continue their lives
with courage and hope.

“We are mindful as well
of those who suffered death, injury, and loss
on the same day at the Pentagon and in
Shanksville, Pennsylvania.
Our hearts are one with theirs
as our prayer embraces their pain and suffering.

“God of peace, bring your peace to our violent world:
peace in the hearts of all men and women
and peace among the nations of the earth.
Turn to your way of love
those whose hearts and minds
are consumed with hatred.

“God of understanding,
overwhelmed by the magnitude of this tragedy,
we seek your light and guidance
as we confront such terrible events.
Grant that those whose lives were spared
may live so that the lives lost here
may not have been lost in vain.
Comfort and console us,
strengthen us in hope,
and give us the wisdom and courage
to work tirelessly for a world
where true peace and love reign
among nations and in the hearts of all.”

Pope Benedict XVI
At Ground Zero
New York City
April 20, 2001

God of peace, bring your peace to our violent world and Lord make me an instrument of your peace. Peace and all good!

On Sunday, at the Mass at Yankee Stadium, Pope Benedict made another appeal for vocations. During his homily, the Successor of Peter said:

“Yesterday, not far from here, I was moved by the joy, the hope and the generous love of Christ which I saw on the faces of the many young people assembled in Dunwoodie. They are the Church’s future, and they deserve all the prayer and support that you can give them. And so I wish to close by adding a special word of encouragement to them. My dear young friends, like the seven men, “filled with the Spirit and wisdom” whom the Apostles charged with care for the young Church, may you step forward and take up the responsibility which your faith in Christ sets before you! May you find the courage to proclaim Christ, “the same, yesterday, and today and for ever” and the unchanging truths which have their foundation in him (cf. Gaudium et Spes, 10; Heb 13:8). These are the truths that set us free! They are the truths which alone can guarantee respect for the inalienable dignity and rights of each man, woman and child in our world - including the most defenseless of all human beings, the unborn child in the mother’s womb. In a world where, as Pope John Paul II, speaking in this very place, reminded us, Lazarus continues to stand at our door (Homily at Yankee Stadium, October 2, 1979, No. 7), let your faith and love bear rich fruit in outreach to the poor, the needy and those without a voice. Young men and women of America, I urge you: open your hearts to the Lord’s call to follow him in the priesthood and the religious life. Can there be any greater mark of love than this: to follow in the footsteps of Christ, who was willing to lay down his life for his friends (cf. Jn 15:13)?”

In case you were not at St. Joseph Seminary in Yonkers, NY today to greet the pope, here is what he said on vocations to the young people gathered there. They are words for all of the Catholic youth of the United States, Canada and the world. Thank you Holy Father!

“Dear young people, finally I wish to share a word about vocations. First of all my thoughts go to your parents, grandparents and godparents. They have been your primary educators in the faith. By presenting you for baptism, they made it possible for you to receive the greatest gift of your life. On that day you entered into the holiness of God himself. You became adoptive sons and daughters of the Father. You were incorporated into Christ. You were made a dwelling place of his Spirit. Let us pray for mothers and fathers throughout the world, particularly those who may be struggling in any way – socially, materially, spiritually. Let us honor the vocation of matrimony and the dignity of family life. Let us always appreciate that it is in families that vocations are given life.

“Gathered here at Saint Joseph Seminary, I greet the seminarians present and indeed encourage all seminarians throughout America. I am glad to know that your numbers are increasing! The People of God look to you to be holy priests, on a daily journey of conversion, inspiring in others the desire to enter more deeply into the ecclesial life of believers. I urge you to deepen your friendship with Jesus the Good Shepherd. Talk heart to heart with him. Reject any temptation to ostentation, careerism, or conceit. Strive for a pattern of life truly marked by charity, chastity and humility, in imitation of Christ, the Eternal High Priest, of whom you are to become living icons (cf. Pastores Dabo Vobis, 33). Dear seminarians, I pray for you daily. Remember that what counts before the Lord is to dwell in his love and to make his love shine forth for others.

“Religious Sisters, Brothers and Priests contribute greatly to the mission of the Church. Their prophetic witness is marked by a profound conviction of the primacy with which the Gospel shapes Christian life and transforms society. Today, I wish to draw your attention to the positive spiritual renewal which Congregations are undertaking in relation to their charism. The word charism means a gift freely and graciously given. Charisms are bestowed by the Holy Spirit, who inspires founders and foundresses, and shapes Congregations with a subsequent spiritual heritage. The wondrous array of charisms proper to each Religious Institute is an extraordinary spiritual treasury. Indeed, the history of the Church is perhaps most beautifully portrayed through the history of her schools of spirituality, most of which stem from the saintly lives of founders and foundresses. Through the discovery of charisms, which yield such a breadth of spiritual wisdom, I am sure that some of you young people will be drawn to a life of apostolic or contemplative service. Do not be shy to speak with Religious Brothers, Sisters or Priests about the charism and spirituality of their Congregation. No perfect community exists, but it is fidelity to a founding charism, not to particular individuals, that the Lord calls you to discern. Have courage! You too can make your life a gift of self for the love of the Lord Jesus and, in him, of every member of the human family (cf. Vita Consecrata, 3).

“Friends, again I ask you, what about today? What are you seeking? What is God whispering to you? The hope which never disappoints is Jesus Christ. The saints show us the selfless love of his way. As disciples of Christ, their extraordinary journeys unfolded within the community of hope, which is the Church. It is from within the Church that you too will find the courage and support to walk the way of the Lord. Nourished by personal prayer, prompted in silence, shaped by the Church’s liturgy you will discover the particular vocation God has for you. Embrace it with joy. You are Christ’s disciples today. Shine his light upon this great city and beyond. Show the world the reason for the hope that resonates within you. Tell others about the truth that sets you free.”

May the Lord give you His peace! The world continues to watch and listen as Pope Benedict XVI continues his apostolic visit in the United States. This morning, in his homily at St. Patrick Cathedral, his holiness said,

“Certainly within the Church’s divinely-willed structure there is a distinction to be made between hierarchical and charismatic gifts (cf. Lumen Gentium, 4). Yet the very variety and richness of the graces bestowed by the Spirit invite us constantly to discern how these gifts are to be rightly ordered in the service of the Church’s mission. You, dear priests, by sacramental ordination have been configured to Christ, the Head of the Body. You, dear deacons, have been ordained for the service of that Body. You, dear men and women religious, both contemplative and apostolic, have devoted your lives to following the divine Master in generous love and complete devotion to his Gospel. All of you, who fill this cathedral today, as wells as your retired, elderly and infirm brothers and sisters, who unite their prayers and sacrifices to your labors, are called to be forces of unity within Christ’s Body. By your personal witness, and your fidelity to the ministry or apostolate entrusted to you, you prepare a path for the Spirit. For the Spirit never ceases to pour out his abundant gifts, to awaken new vocations and missions, and to guide the Church, as our Lord promised in this morning’s Gospel, into the fullness of truth (cf. Jn 16:13).”

What a beautiful reminder to us who serve the Church as religious that “in generous love and deep devotion to the Gospel” we are called to be “forces of unity” and called to “prepare a path for the Spirit.” During his apostolic visit, this humble servant in the vineyard of the Lord repeatedly shows us by his example how to be a genuine force of unity, a minister of reconciliation, an instrument of peace, and one who prepares a path for the Spirit. With so many other people, I was particularly moved by reports of the pope’s meeting with victims of sexual abuse in the chapel at the Apostolic Nunciature in Washington, DC on Thursday. I am also moved by the pope’s plans to pray at Ground Zero tomorrow morning. The pope’s words and deeds these days remind ordained ministers, religious men and women, lay ministers and all Christians of our shared responsibility to bring the love that is God everywhere and most especially where people have been hurt or abused, where hatred has brought violence and death, and where despair causes darkness and fear. Yes, the very variety and richness of the graces bestowed by the Spirit invite us constantly to discern how to use our lives in the service of the Church’s mission. We Franciscan Friars constantly discern how to be generous in love and devoted to the Gospel life in the service of the Church’s mission like Francis and Clare of Assisi. At the same time, young people thinking about a religious vocation need to “constantly discern” how you can put your lives at the service of the Church’s mission. Through it all, we need to remember and remind one another that “the Spirit never ceases to pour out his abundant gifts, to awaken new vocations and missions, and to guide the Church. . . into the fullness of truth” (cf. Jn 16:13). Young people who are discerning a vocation to Franciscan life, the Spirit is pouring out his abundant gifts on you. Open your hearts to receive that Spirit as he leads you into the fullness of truth. Open your hearts to be generous in love and devoted to the Gospel in the service of the Church’s mission. And please, keep reminding me to do the same as the Holy Father has reminded me today. Thank you Pope Benedict! Peace and all good!

May the Lord give you His peace! Briefly, I saw the pope yesterday afternoon as he exited his pope-mobile and entered the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington, DC. I was not expecting to see him, but at the last minute, I was able to go to the shrine with a group of friars. The theme of this papal visit to the United States is “Christ our Hope.” Francis of Assisi in his prayer THE PRAISES OF GOD writes of God, “You are our hope.” As I have said before in this blog, hope is a significant part of any religious vocation. As friars in community, we strive to live a common gospel life grounded in faith, nurtured by hope and sustained by love. Friars, sisters and all Christians have an awesome responsibility to witness to hope in our world. In his homily today at the Mass at Nationals Park, Pope Benedict XVI preached, “I pray, then, that this significant anniversary in the life of the Church in the United States, and the presence of the Successor of Peter in your midst, will be an occasion for all Catholics to reaffirm their unity in the apostolic faith, to offer their contemporaries a convincing account of the hope which inspires them (cf. 1 Pet 3:15), and to be renewed in missionary zeal for the extension of God’s Kingdom.” In the unity of our apostolic faith, we are all called to holiness. Discerning a religious vocation necessitates a desire to offer a convincing account of the hope which inspires us as Christians. In his wonderful book, LOVE WITHOUT CALCULATION, theologian David Power writes, “Hope for the future beyond this world needs to be accompanied by hope for the present, hope that energy of divine love remembered in the death and resurrection of Christ transforms even our present, our life here on earth” (p.22). This energy of divine love remembered in the death and resurrection of Christ impels us to hear God’s call and to follow in the path that he has set before us. We are not coerced by the Lord to be friars. We are touched by divine love and we respond with our lives in love. Pope Benedict has arrived in the United States as a servant of the Gospel of hope. If I feel called to this life as a friar, then I hope that God is going to give me what I need to live my life as a friar. Very often as I was discerning my vocation, I pondered all of the reasons why not to be a friar. Yet, the ultimate reason that I am a friar is that in love, God invited me to this life. In love, I embrace this fraternal Gospel life. Christ our hope called me to this life. Christ our hope sustains me in this life. I hope some of you reading this blog can discover that too. Peace and all good!

With Pope Benedict’s arrival in the United States tomorrow, many news programs are reporting on various aspects of the Roman Catholic Church in the United States. A number of news commentators are talking about the drop in religious vocations on this continent in the last few decades. We often hear this trend referred to as a “vocation crisis.” Crisis or not, the Church continues to do what it has always done in preaching the Gospel even with fewer religious and fewer priests. Crisis or not, friars and sisters continue to serve the Lord and respond to the needs of the Church in various parts of the world. In his book, What is the Point of Being a Christian? Dominican friar Timothy Radcliffe writes:
“So every time that we gather as a community to celebrate the Eucharist, we remember the moment in which Jesus faced death and desertion, when suddenly the disciples lost anything to say about where they were going. And we do so with words that come from the Gospels, which were written in the light of that second great loss of a story of the future, when Jesus failed to return in glory. So we should know by now that hoping in the Kingdom does not give us a road map. Rather takes it away. In both cases, intimacy with the Lord grew as those early Christians lost their certainty as to what lay ahead. In the first moment he gave them the gift of his body, and in the second the Gospels. So we should not be fearful of crises. The Church was born in a crisis of hope. Crises are our specialté de la maison. They rejuvenate us. The one that we are living through is very small” (p. 16).

In accepting a call to religious life, you won’t have a road map either. You may not be certain what lay ahead. Still, it is a great life. It is a wonderful time in the life of the Church to serve as a friar. It is an exciting time in the life of the Church. So often I am reminded of the words of John Paul II to the youth of the United States on his first visit here as pope in October, 1979: “The Church needs you, the world needs you, because the world needs Christ and you belong to Christ.” Crisis or not, we friars are always ready to welcome new members to our fraternity and share with them the joy of service to the Church and to the world.

May the Lord give you His peace!  Today, the Fourth Sunday of Easter, the Church celebrates World Day of Prayer for Vocations.  In 1963, Pope Paul VI designated the Fourth Sunday of Easter (a.k.a. Good Shepherd Sunday) as World Day of Prayer for Vocations.  As followers of Jesus, we are called by name and are led by our Good Shepherd into fullness of life.  In his Message for this 45th World Day of Prayer for Vocations, Pope Benedict XVI writes: “It is for the gift of vocations that the Church prays everyday to the Holy Spirit.  As at its beginning gathered around the Virgin Mary, Queen of the Apostles, the community of the Church learns from her how to implore the Lord for the flowering of new apostles who will know how to live in themselves the faith and that love which are necessary for the mission.”  As a vocation minister, my share in the mission is to pray everyday for vocations and to work daily in promoting vocations specifically to my Order and in general for the life of the Church.  As the
