NEW: In celebration of the 40th Anniversary of our Rule, Gerald Gabriel,ofs, Spiritual Assistant, shared this prayer:
A Prayer of Thanksgiving for Our Rule Lord God, Heavenly Father, Most High Glorious God, we humbly give You thanks and praise for our OFS Rule of Life approved for us by Blessed Pope Paul VI. Grant us the grace to joyfully celebrate this gift and to wholeheartedly live out the articles of this Rule recognizing the wisdom and foresight contained therein and the sense of fraternal community that we share as we individually and collectively aspire to fulfill our vocation. We ask this in keeping with the spirit of our Seraphic Father, St. Francis and in the holy name of our brother and Saviour, Jesus Christ. Amen. |
