St. Anthony of Padua "Oh holy Father, protect them with your name whom you gave me out of the world. I entrusted to them the message you entrusted to me and they received it. They have known that in truth I came from you, they have believed that it was you who sent me. For these I pray, not for the world. Bless and consecrate them, and I consecrate myself for their sakes. I do not pray for them alone; I pray also for those who will believe in me through their word that they may be holy by being one as we are. And I desire, Father, to have them in my company where I am to see this glory of mine in your kingdom." (Jesus as quoted in the Prologue to the Rule of the Secular Franciscan Order.)
This
calendar lists one friar and one fraternity member each day.
Those from the forming group in Browns Valley (BV) have been added. Please remember
them in your prayers that day. The Secular Franciscan Order and the whole Church
is strengthened when God blesses any Franciscan. |
