“Proclaim the Gospel at all times. When necessary, use words.” - St. Francis of Assisi

Spreading the truth about invisible enemies is not so appealing to educated people. As long as all paranoia is a serious mental illness, folks just laugh at Christian Good News.

This is a misattribution. Saint Francis never said this. The error lies in suggesting one can spread the true Gospel message without speaking. Which being nice and serving the poor is part of the Gospel message but not the entirety. How can we say Jesus is the Son of God without speaking?

There needs to be more Catholic men like this taking a stand.

Franciscans are as close as it gets to being in service to their fellow man. I have the utmost respect for them, have known many of them when I was a social worker. I worked side by side with them down in the trenches when I was trying to make a difference. I made a special trip to Assisi, Italy to pay respect at the tomb of their founder, St. Francis.

You posted 2 years ago. Anyway I too feel like tearing up. I went to the Seminary many many years back and did not make it. But I still have good memories of those days I have wasted because of immaturity. I married and faced with all kind of evils in my life as married person, I survived but not spiritually. I was dead spiritually for many years but I thank the good Lord Jesus for not abandoning me. I have found my true happiness in Jesus, my God

Daniel Alexander I feel the same. I was a Franciscan friar in a newly founded community in upstate NY. 2013/2014. I cried concerning the older black/African American gentleman in the video. I know a man just like him who is a very troubled homeless man and yet always has a kind word to say or just a smile. JOY!

@@bakas792 wow your story is much like mine! I did go to seminary as well. I was a Capuchin. My faith died when my brothers locked the friary gate behimd me saying, "from here on in, you're dead to us". Sometimes, seeing these videos reminds me of the regret I have for leaving and getting married. I recently looked at photos of my past brothers and saw that God did indeed call me out foe the right vocation. Saving me even more heart ache and spiritual battles that I would definitely have lost. Now I know I I can take the values and lessons I have learned during that time and still bring it out to into the world. I have returned to the faith and will become a secular Franciscan!

Incredible. I've been considering the priesthood and looking at different seminarian videos, but this one and only this one has given me peace and joy.

It is my hope to one day join the Franciscan sisters :)

I feel so lucky to have these friars in the world, and they changed my life. If one of you people remember me, I was at a Youth 2000 nearby the friary.

God bless you Franciscain Brothers. Frères Franciscain dans le Christ. soyez bénis.

i have had close relationship with christ since 3 years of age, happily preaching the gospel. my patron saint is saint francis of assisi. i'm member of knights of columbus. i am interested in joining n knowing more, i live in texas. may God bless you all. been searching 4 a community that would accept me fully. much brotherly love from me 2 yall. :)

I love the way the friar is celebrating the Mass in the vernacular facing the tabernacle. His vestments are beautiful, too. It would be great if all Masses were celebrated this way.

It is odd to see how many of these Franciscan third orders want to revert to the pre-Vatican II liturgy. The improvements made to the liturgy during Vatican II were remarkable steps forward in inviting the participation of the laity in the sacrificial prayer. At least they keep the vernacular here but it is probably because they don't know Latin.

Gracious God, we confess that we have sinned against you in thought, word, and deed, by what we have done and by what we have left undone.

Save me, and direct me by Thy Holy Name, Thou to Whom nothing is difficult, nothing is impossible, and deliver me from the night of mine ignorance, and enable me to go forth there from. Enlighten me with spark of Thine Infinite Wisdom. Take away from my senses the desire of my flesh, that I can walk up right before your divine presents . . . . . . O God the father, All Powerful and All Merciful, Who hast created all things, Who knowest and conceivest them universally, and to Whom nothing is hidden, nothing is impossible; I entreat Thy Grace for me and Thy servants, the Brothers and Sisters of this Order . . .Come Lord and make us Soul Winners, Help us now to Create a proper Space a Holy Place that we can worship you our Lord . . .in the Mighty and Wonderful name Jesus the Christ! . . . When we enter here in with all humility, let God the Almighty One enter into this Circle, by the entrance of an eternal happiness, of Divine prosperity, of a perfect joy, of an abundant charity, and of an eternal salutation . . .O Lord our God Sanctify our humble entery here in; Thou the Blessed and Holy One of the Eternal! Ages . . .in the Blessed name of Jesus the Christ . . . . . . O Lord God, All Powerful and All Merciful, Thou who desirest not the death of a sinner, but rather that he may turn from his wickedness and live: Give and grant unto us thy grace, by blessing and consecrating this Sacred Space . . . I beseeh Thee, O Lord God, the All Powerful and the All Merciful, that Thou wilt design to bless this Circle, and all those who are there in, in the Blessed and Mighty name of Jesus the Christ . . . . . . Amen! .Hail Jesus the Christ, God Son, my Savior, Have Mercy Upon me a Sinner! I Glorify you God . . .only you I worship . . .! THERE IS NO OTHER God but Jehovah . . . King of Kings and Lord of Lords . . . There is no other name where for you much be Saved . . .Jesus the Christ, Logos of God! Amen . . . ... All... to be, to exist, to come to pass! ... The Minister ask some one to open with a prayer from the Heart without any written litany . . . At this time spontaneous worship takes place. Everyone worshipping out loud from the heart in charismatic release, arms and hands up lifted in a sign of surrender. Singing in the Spirit taking place. Everyone surrendering to the Spirit of God. This time of worship should not be rushed, or hurried . . .there could be a tongue and interpretation, a prophecy. MINISTER . . .Friar Hear the good news: Christ died for us while we were yet sinners; that proves God's love towards us. In the name of Jesus the Christ and his shed blood, you are forgiven! All . . .Brothers IN the name of Jesus the Christ and his shed blood, we are forgiven! Glory to God. Amen Minister . . .Friar LET'S us offer one another signs of reconciliation and love.

The Minister takes a few drops of water and adds it to a small cup of anointing oil. The Minister holds up the cup and prays a blessing over it... The Minister... James 5:14-16 14 Anyone who is sick should call the church's elders. They should pray for and anoint with oil the person in the name of the Lord. 15 And the prayer that is said with faith will heal that person, well; the Lord the will heal that person. And if the person. Has sinned, the sins will be forgiven. 16 Confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so God can heal you. When a believing person prays, great things happen. The Minister anoints each brother in the name of the Lord on the forehead in the sign of the Tau cross... Each brother praying silently to themselves confessing there sins to God and asking for, forgiveness....1John 1:9 Anyone sick after everyone is anointed raises there hand up and others lay hands on them and silently praise for there healing. Other needs can also be prayed for. If there is someone that is not filled with the Holy Ghost they can ask at this time to have hands laid on them to be. If there are prayer requests that have been written out on parchment paper ( flash paper) the parchment should be held up. The Minister should now ask a brother to pray for these prayers to be met... Now the parchment paper with the prays are burned in the thurible...with incense added to the charcoal.... ... " Friars Eu·cha·rist". . .come and eat the Masters calling... Exodus 12:13 and 21-22 13. The Blood will be a sign for you on the house where you are; and when I see the blood I will pass over you. 21. Then Moses summoned all the elders of Israel and said to them, "Go at once and select the animals for your families and slaughter the Passover Lamb. 22. Take a bunch of hyssop, dip it into the blood in the basin and put some of the blood on the top and on both sides of the doorframe. All . . . Hebrews 9:22 22. In fact, the law requires that nearly everything be cleansed with blood, and with out the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sin. Minister. . . 1 Corinthians 11:23-25 The Minister picks up the paten with the Bread saying... 23. The Lord Jesus, on the night he was betrayed, took bread and when he had given thanks, he broke it and said. "This is my body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of me" The paten is pass clockwise round the circle. Each person brakes off a piece of the bread, eating it in remembrance of what Christ did for them on the cross. The Minister picks up the Chalice and says... " This cup is the new covenant in my blood; do this whenever you drink it, in remembrance of me." The Chalice is passed clockwise round the circle each person drinking from it in remembrance of the shed blood of Christ. Once again the Chalice and Paten are back on the altar spontaneous praise and worship takes place thanking the Lord for his shed blood and the forgiveness of there sin(s). This part of the Eu·cha·rist is not rushed, a time of just being still takes place. . . A tongue and interpretation or prophecy could happen ...we want to be open to the Holy Spirit. So we at times just wait on the Lord. ... All... May God be gracious to us and bless us and make his face shine upon us, that your ways may be known on the earth, your Salvation among all nations. May the people praise you, O God; may all the people praise you. May the nations be glad and sing for joy, for you rule the people justly and guide the nations of the earth. May the peoples praise you, O God; may all the people praise you. Then the Lord will yield it's harvest, and God, our God, will bless us.
