Mgr William Slattery, Arcivescovo di Pretoria che ha, di più, presieduto alla
Messa di apertura. “<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Attualmente, la
Chiesa in Africa ha la grande sfida di passare dal catechismo
all’evangelizzazione alla luce di Africae Munus, cioè dal conoscere al sentire</i>”,
ha detto. Fr. Benedict Ayodi, OFMCap, promotore generale per la Giustizia, Pace
e Integrità del creato ha presentato la ricchezza dell’Africa e le situazioni
attuali di conflitti e guerre, dimostrando con dati scientifici che la causa
reale dei conflitti è la lotta per il potere e per la ricchezza. Fr. Dominic Griego,
OFMCap, ha presentato “Damietta Peace Initiative” per la promozione del dialogo
tra persone in zone di tensioni e conflitti. Nicholas Kugonza, OFS Uganda, ha
parlato sul futuro dei giovani; la coppia Honorius e Ita Chilufya, OFS Zambia
hanno presentato sulla famiglia come scuola di riconciliazione, pace e
giustizia sociale, Nina Richards, OFS Sud Africa, ha presentato qualche
iniziativa concreta in Sudafrica per soccorrere i più bisognosi. Altri temi
presentati dai membri della Presidenza CIOFS e gli Assistenti generali
riguardava l’OFS di modo particolare, l’attualità, la formazione, il ruolo dei
consigli, ecc. Lungo il Congresso, dopo il lavoro della giornata, si chiudeva
con delle serate culturali, grandi momenti di scambio e divertimento in
fraternità.</span><br />

preparazione per il congresso è di lunga durata, iniziata da 2014 quando
l’allora Ministra generale OFS, Encarnità del Pozo e suo consiglio decisero di
creare un Progetto Africa, con appunto lo scopo di organizzare un Congresso
Pan-Africano. L’attuale è stato preceduto da diversi congressi regionali in
inglese o in francese, e corsi di formazione per la promozione dell’OFS e la
GiFra. Sono occasioni <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>di formazione
permanente sia per gli stessi membri OFS e GiFra che per gli assistenti
spirituali. La soddisfazione dei partecipanti era visibile sui volti di tutti. Infine,
i partecipanti hanno ridato un messaggio conclusivo per tutte le fraternità del
continente. Con la grazia di Dio, il prossimo appuntamento sarà in quattro o
cinque anni. </span><br />

Il est 5h40, l'heure locale. On entend tout d'un coup un tam-tam sonné tout près dans l'enceinte conventuel. Il commence très doux mais va augmentant en tempo et en volume jusqu'à faire sursauter du lis nous qui hésitions encore à nous lever à cause de la fatigue du voyage. C'est effectivement le réveil des Frères. Le tam-tam est accompagné d'un autre instrument au son simple et syncopé on dirait des baguettes frappées contre un corps en bois creux. C'est évident à notre jugement qu'elles sont deux personnes à sonner ce réveil. Nous nous levons au son allègre du tam-tam des Frères. Ça donne envie de danser. Il nous vient à cœur la parole du Psalmiste qui dit: " Louez-le avec le tambourin et avec des danses !" (Ps 150:4). C'est de la musique qui continue pour environ 3 minutes en rythme fort rapide avant de diminuer brièvement jusqu'à s’arrêter pour céder place aux chants des coqs, aux chants d'oiseux et aux sons des mouvements des frères qui se levaient et s’apprêtaient pour la Prière. Nous sommes à Adidogomé à Lomé, Togo, au couvent des Frères Mineurs Conventuels où nous nous sommes rendu pour le deuxième chapitre électif de l'Ordre Franciscain Séculier de Togo.<br />

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Today, migration
provoked by violence and insecurity is a major problem for many societies.
Millions of people and families are forced to move to other areas, of the same
country or of other countries, sometimes, thousands of kilometers away just for
their safety. Thousands of youths are flooding into Europe particularly from
some African countries. These would rather face the dangers of crossing the
Sahara desert and the Mediterranean Sea, than remain in the dangers and
hopelessness of their homes. What are they looking for? These same people have
generally become a hot “problem” to be solved by political leaders or to be
handled by humanitarian organizations. But the scheme is always almost the
same: on the one side, there are the needy: refugees and immigrants; and on the
other, there are the benefactors: host countries and humanitarian groups. For
both entities, these brothers and sisters remain a bitter problem to solve so
that life may be normal once more.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

his personal journey of conversion so as to leave a spiritual testament for
posterity, St. Francis of Assisi says: <i>“</i></span><i><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt;">The Lord gave me, Brother Francis, thus to
begin doing penance in this way: for when I was in sin, it seemed too bitter
for me to see lepers. And the Lord Himself led me among them and I showed mercy
to them. And when I left them, what had seemed bitter to me was turned into
sweetness of soul and body”. <a href="file:///I:/Flash%20agiornato%2016.3.2016/2017/Private/Conferences%20-%20Homilies%20-%20Notes/Conferences/OFS/OFS%20and%20Migration.docx#_ftn2" name="_ftnref2" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><b><span lang="EN-US" style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: FR;">[2]</span></b></span><!--[endif]--></span></a></span></i><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt;"> Why this general feeling of bitterness in
facing the refugee issues today? Why is the sight of a needy person still so
bitter to many today? The experience of St. Franciscan is true for the individual
as well as for the society. Stooping to help the other who is in need at a
given moment will always bring that sweetness of soul and body of which st.
Francis speaks. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

into reality the experience of St. Francis to the letter and made it possible
for many to make the same experience, it is Saint Mother Teresa of Calcutta who
was recently canonized by Pope Francis on September 4<sup>th</sup>. In one of
her interviews, she narrates the experience of a novice of the Missionaries of
charity who attended to a wounded man. She had just joined the Congregation
after graduating from university: “<i>before
they left, together with a fellow novice, to serve the poor, one day, I
reminded both of them: ‘do you remember where you are heading for? During Mass,
do you see with what tenderness and love the priest takes into his hands the
Body of Christ? Do not forget that that Christ is the same Christ that you
touch in the poor’. The two sisters went out. One of them, the novice, knocked
at my door afterwards. She told me, full of joy: ‘Mother, I have touched the
Body of Christ, for the past three hours’. Her face was expressing profound joy</i>.
‘Why? What did you do?’ I aske<i>d her.
‘when we had just arrived our destination’ she said ‘we were brought a seriously
injured man who was screaming from pain. He had been rescued from the rubbles
of a collapsed building. I had to help during the medication of the wounds. It
took three hours. So, I touched the Body of Christ for three hours. I am
certain: He was the one’</i>”.<a href="file:///I:/Flash%20agiornato%2016.3.2016/2017/Private/Conferences%20-%20Homilies%20-%20Notes/Conferences/OFS/OFS%20and%20Migration.docx#_ftn3" name="_ftnref3" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span lang="EN-US" style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: FR;">[3]</span></span><!--[endif]--></span></a>

to meet Jesus or to make Him known. “<i>Throughout
the world, let us be permanently in a state of mission</i>”.<a href="file:///I:/Flash%20agiornato%2016.3.2016/2017/Private/Conferences%20-%20Homilies%20-%20Notes/Conferences/OFS/OFS%20and%20Migration.docx#_ftn7" name="_ftnref7" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span lang="EN-US" style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: FR;">[7]</span></span><!--[endif]--></span></a>
What opportunities are given us for
mission today? Some events in the history of the Church might enlighten us on
God’s way of operating. When the early Church was closed up in fear of the
Jews, God fired them up with the Holy Spirit and they proclaimed Christ Jesus
so that all could hear in their different languages; (cf. Act 2,1-13). Later on, through persecutions, the Lord “<i>Whipped</i>” the “<i>comfortable Church</i>” to “<i>gallop</i>”
into mission and an Ethiopian Eunuch was immediately baptized, (Act 8,
1-8.26-40). Further on, as the Church was risking self-imprisonment in Jewish
circles and customs, the Lord called Paul and consecrated him into the apostle
of the Gentiles and the faith fast spread to all of the Rome empire; (Act 9).
While the European world of the 13<sup>th</sup> century was violently divided
along lines of wealth and religion, St. Francis was given brothers with no
lines of division and distinction, a universal Fraternity for the rebuilding of
the Church, and he began a Secular Order for the salvation of all. So, what
opportunity is given us today?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify; text-indent: 35.45pt; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt;">Mgr Paolo Martinelli, OFMCap, often said –
quoting Hans Urs Von Balthasar, I believe -: “<i>life is a vocation because reality is a provocation</i>.” In the
present situation, God is giving new opportunities to many persons to
experience, like St. Francis, the sweetness of soul and body hidden in the
selfless service of the others who are in need. It is an opportunity for
charity, an opportunity for mercy and, most of all, for evangelization. The
following words of Pope Francis are enlightening with all their apostolic
authority: “<i>In fidelity to the example of the Master, it is vitally important for
the Church today to go forth and preach the Gospel to all: to all places, on
all occasions, without hesitation, reluctance or fear. The joy of the Gospel is
for all people: no one can be excluded</i>”.<a href="file:///I:/Flash%20agiornato%2016.3.2016/2017/Private/Conferences%20-%20Homilies%20-%20Notes/Conferences/OFS/OFS%20and%20Migration.docx#_ftn8" name="_ftnref8" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span lang="EN-US" style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: FR;">[8]</span></span><!--[endif]--></span></a><o:p></o:p></span></div>

is easy to understand that people need courageous believers who seriously take
up their identity as followers of Christ who lives and is present in the life
of everyone. Even the emergence of so many Christian movements is a
confirmation that many are thirsty for the Word of God. And it is true that people
alone and without the help of God are unable to quench this thirst. But people must
cooperate effectively and this happens through the contemplation of the Word of
God in the Gospel.</span><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #212121; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<pre style="background: white; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #212121; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">The Franciscan family continues to grow in many parts of the world thanks to the experience of the evangelical life whose testimony is rendered daily by both the friars of the First Order and the TOR, and more generally by the entire Franciscan family. Of course, while we rejoice over this growth, we also need to ask what the Franciscan family would be without the Gospel. The Gospel is a rule of life. It is the heart and the help of Christians. The Gospel is the living Word that nourishes us and guides us in this earthly pilgrimage. Thus “<i>T</i></span><i><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; letter-spacing: -.1pt;">he secular Franciscan, committed to following the example and the teachings of Christ, must personally and assiduously study the Gospel and Sacred Scripture</span></i><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; letter-spacing: -.1pt;">” </span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.5pt; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">(Cfr.

So all believers are called to be the bearers of the Gospel, that is, bearers of the good news-which is Christ Himself. This implies the cooperation of all because<o:p></o:p></span></pre>

<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #212121; font-size: 12.0pt;">A Christian who does not place the Gospel
at the center of his life is a Christian without direction, and also, a
lifeless Christian. The fact that we are baptized implies that we should be
bearers of the Gospel. In fact, Christ himself sent his disciples to the world
saying “<i>Go and teach all nations,
baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,
teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you</i>” (Mt 28:19-20). Thus

live in him, for “</span><i><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt;">They have been made living members of the

<pre style="background: white; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #212121; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Sacred Scripture as a guide means to be in communion with God and to bear witness to one’s faith. The secret of a united family lies in the fact that its members come together to pray together. And if this is true for the nuclear/parental family (father, mother, and children) it is equally true for the spiritual family (Franciscan). Prayer can really change life because it directs our attention away from ourselves by directing our minds and hearts toward the Lord. If we stoponly to look at ourselves, with our limits and our sins, we immediately leave room for sadness and discouragement. But if we keep our eyes fixed on the Lord, then our hearts will be filled with hope, our minds will be washed in the light of truth. We then experience the fullness of the Gospel: it is for all, promise and life, as Pope John Paul II reminded us. All good works are the result of both individual and family prayer. Thisis the challenge that the Franciscan family facestoday, to let us be led by the spirit of prayer and devotion which are the guarantee of our Franciscan identity.</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.5pt; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;"><o:p></o:p></span></pre>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<br /></div>
<pre style="background: white; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #212121; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">It was exactly in 1208, while Francis listened to the reading of the Gospel, which he began to understand that God was calling him to His service and from that moment on, he made a radical change in his lifestyle.He began to follow God by finding the courage to renounce the kind of life he was leading to welcome God in his heart. After this initiation, Francis, to “<i>get to know the will of God for him, had to go through many pathways and trials to be able to discover the life according to the Gospel as his way and life program and during this period he experienced several and subsequent «conversions»</i>”<a href="file:///C:/Users/francisdor/AppData/Local/Temp/Temp1_Koinonia_2017_4.zip/Koinonia_2017_4_EN.docx#_ftn5" name="_ftnref5" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #212121; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">[5]</span></span><!--[endif]--></span></a>. Francis chose to respond with a<i>yes</i> to the call to take a new direction in his life and this was the result of a deep listening to the voice of God, both before the cross of San Damian and in the reading of the Gospel.<o:p></o:p></span></pre>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<pre style="background: white; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #212121; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Like Francis, the young men of today have to open their hearts to hear the voice of God who often speaks to them in a subtle and tender voice both in everyday life and in the Gospel. So it is not enough to go to Holy Mass just because on Sunday everyone goes to church. Young people must cultivate willingnessto understand the Sacred Scripture in order to rediscover the way to the truth-Christ. However, we must keep in mind that today many young people have become bitter because of the lack of work. Others often feel abandoned: their life is hopeless and without purpose and this often leads them to think that nobody listens to them or understands them. But God, the true Father, waits for them with open arms.<o:p></o:p></span></pre>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; tab-stops: 45.8pt 91.6pt 137.4pt 183.2pt 229.0pt 274.8pt 320.6pt 366.4pt 412.2pt 458.0pt 503.8pt 549.6pt 595.4pt 641.2pt 687.0pt 732.8pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="color: #212121; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">So we can say that the situation of young people
today resembles the situation that the first disciples of Jesus lived after he
announced his departure from world. But Jesus, seeing them distressed and
bitter, reassured them and invited them not to lose their minds and to trust in
him, for he would not abandon them (cf. Jn 14). This episode is one of the
reasons why we talk about the effectiveness of the Gospel. The Word of God
refreshes the soul, </span><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #212121; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">“</span><i><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: #212121; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">the very life of Francis had
developed in immediate contact with the Scripture which he wanted to interpret
and live literally</span></i><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: #212121; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">”<a href="file:///C:/Users/francisdor/AppData/Local/Temp/Temp1_Koinonia_2017_4.zip/Koinonia_2017_4_EN.docx#_ftn6" name="_ftnref6" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: #212121; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">[6]</span></span><!--[endif]--></span></a>. Inthe
Scripture he had found the way - Jesus himself - to follow; the way of love for
lepers. It is from listening to Scripture that Francis succeededin
understanding that the “<i>Son of God, who is“love”,
came to this earth for love, lived for love, radiating love, giving love,
bringing the law of love, and he died for love</i>”<a href="file:///C:/Users/francisdor/AppData/Local/Temp/Temp1_Koinonia_2017_4.zip/Koinonia_2017_4_EN.docx#_ftn7" name="_ftnref7" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: #212121; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">[7]</span></span><!--[endif]--></span></a>.
So Francis could follow this way of love when he succeeded in drawing closer to
the lepers, thus opening up new perspectives and a different approach to a
society that marginalized and abandoned the lepers. As he approached them,
Francis heard the voice of Jesus saying, “<i>I
was hungry and you gave me to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me to drink; I
was a stranger and you invited me in, I was naked and you dressed me, I was sick
and you visited me, I was in prison and you came to visit me</i>” (Mt 25:
35-36). Even today the world expects to see and find in us Franciscans these
effects of the Gospel that for us is the form of life. In this crisis of
vocations, both to the consecrated life and to the marital life, people expect
the Franciscan family in general to go to the world, as Pope Francis says, with
the Gospel in the heart and in the hands. This can only come from the “<i>courage and audacity to return to the
essential of our experience of faith and our spirituality to nourish, through
the liberating gift of the Gospel, our divided world, unequal and hungry for meaning</i>”<a href="file:///C:/Users/francisdor/AppData/Local/Temp/Temp1_Koinonia_2017_4.zip/Koinonia_2017_4_EN.docx#_ftn8" name="_ftnref8" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: #212121; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">[8]</span></span><!--[endif]--></span></a>.</span><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #212121; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.5pt; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">If we compare the time in which the young Francis of
Assisi lived before his conversion and the time in which the young Franciscans
of today live, we can find many similarities, both with regard to the concept
of materialism and the interpretation of the consumerism that derives from it.
However, in both cases, that of Francis’ day and today, God continues to be
revealed as the Father who always meets those who seek him with sincere heart.
Francis was totally immersed in that world, but then he let himself be enlightened
and led by Jesus, humble and poor. Francis denuded himself in front of everyone
and started a new chapter in his life, abandoning the richness of this world
for the kingdom of God. He entrusted himself to the providence of God, not to the
things of this world, and slowly began to understand well that there is a great
difference between the richness of this world and the richness of having God in
oneself. “<i>If then you were raised
together with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated
on the right hand of God. Set your mind on the things that are above, not on
the things that are upon the earth</i>”(<i>Col</i>
3:1-2). <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.5pt; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Many young Franciscans today are open to imitating
Francis and this is seen in their enthusiasm to find time for God.Intheir
encounters it is perceived that the same Holy Spirit who prompted the young
Francis to listen to God and follow His command to repair His house that was
going to ruin still blows in today's world. Listening to the testimony of the
members of YouFra in their various meetings, local, national and international,
it is often seen that they are not totally lost in the materialistic world.They
have a great need for a spiritual guide to better understand the importance of
prayer, the value of the assiduous commitment to contemplate the Word of God in
everyday life in order to free themselves from the slavery of materialism and
to begin to rediscover the joy that the Gospel gives them. The OFS and the CAS
must never forget that young people can regain the joy of contemplating the
Gospel only with spiritual accompaniment and that they will thus enhance the
meaning of the discovery of Christ in everyday life and understand the phrase “If
we liberate the Gospel, the Gospel will liberate us”<a href="file:///C:/Users/francisdor/AppData/Local/Temp/Temp1_Koinonia_2017_4.zip/Koinonia_2017_4_EN.docx#_ftn9" name="_ftnref9" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.5pt; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: IT;">[9]</span></span><!--[endif]--></span></a>.
All this is possible only when we are available to listen to and meditate upon the
Word of God. No doubt, Franciscan young people, although surrounded by
consumerism, are able to find the courage to live their loyalty to the Gospel
and to the Franciscan charism. Faithfulness demands a choice of life.
Faithfulness is sustained by the courage and hope that Christ always comes to
us to save us. Franciscan young people will always have the intelligence to
understand that “<i>The Scripture is not
only the product of a past history, but it is also, at the same time, a
declaration or prediction of the future, which in part has already taken place and,
in part, is still yet to come</i>”<a href="file:///C:/Users/francisdor/AppData/Local/Temp/Temp1_Koinonia_2017_4.zip/Koinonia_2017_4_EN.docx#_ftn10" name="_ftnref10" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.5pt; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: IT;">[10]</span></span><!--[endif]--></span></a>.
To go with the Gospel in the heart and in the hands is exactly this: “<i>motivated by the faith in Christ and live that
faith in today's world and this is the faith that moves the mountains of
materialism</i>”<a href="file:///C:/Users/francisdor/AppData/Local/Temp/Temp1_Koinonia_2017_4.zip/Koinonia_2017_4_EN.docx#_ftn11" name="_ftnref11" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.5pt; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: IT;">[11]</span></span><!--[endif]--></span></a>.

young people of today, namely, “to go with the gospel in the heart and in the
hands”, we have tried to point out some points that can help us to understand
better what Jesus reminds us when he says, “Heaven and earth will pass away,
but my words will not pass away” (Lk 21: 33). The Gospel, that is, the Word of
God, must be welcomed in the heart, the heart that needs God. God gave us his
son Jesus Christ, the living and effective Word for our salvation. The
salvation that comes from him is free. However, our openness to receive it is
fundamental because we can be transformed into what we believe, and thus become
bearers of the Gospel to others.</span>

Marie-Josph was born on February 27th 1907 and died on July 27th 1993.

<div style="margin-bottom: 4.0pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
Aloyse Gerber est né le 27 février 1907 dans le village
alsacien d’Eckbolsheim, non loin de Strasbourg. C’est à ses parents, tertiaires
de Saint François, qu’il doit d’avoir reçu, tout petit, l’amour de l’Ordre
franciscain. A onze ans il commence son itinéraire à l’École Séraphique de
Strasbourg-Koenigshoffen, tenue par les frères capucins. En 1924, il est reçu
au noviciat des Frères Mineurs Capucins de Sigolsheim, reçoit l’habit le 14
aout de .la même année et un nouveau nom : frère Marie-Joseph. Au couvent de
Strasbourg-Koenigshoffen (1925-1928), et commence sa théologie en 1929 après
avoir accompli son service militaire. C’est à ce moment que se développe une
correspondance précieuse avec sa sœur Rosalie, sœur Franciscaine Missionnaire
de Marie.</div>
<a name='more'></a><br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 4.0pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
En 1930, à Tours, frère Marie-Joseph prononce ses vœux
solennels. Puis il rejoint Toulouse où il fréquente l’Institut Catholique : ses
études d’Histoire de l’Eglise seront essentielles dans sa formation, et lui
permettront d’acquérir un grand esprit de discernement, d’enraciner son amour
profond de l’Eglise, lui apprendront l’histoire de l’Ordre et lui donneront
pour toujours une grande confiance en Dieu par rapport à toutes les secousses
de l’histoire. Le 19 mars 1932, solennité de saint Joseph, il est ordonné <a href="http://metz.catholique.fr/glossaire/pretre" title="Chrétien qui a reçu le sacrement de l'Ordre pour être signe du Christ pasteur.">prêtre</a>.
Il se confia ainsi à sa sœur en 1933 : « Un immense désir me dévore d’accomplir
ce que je voudrais appeler ma mission : conquérir beaucoup d’âmes au
« Christ de l’âme franciscaine » et fonder et soutenir et lancer tout
un groupe d’apôtres 100% du Tiers-Ordre ». Ses supérieurs venaient de lui
demander d’interrompre ses études d’histoire de l’Église à Toulouse : c’est à
Bitche que son ministère sacerdotal devait s’épanouir. Tout en exerçant dans le
<a href="http://metz.catholique.fr/glossaire/diocese" title="Peuple chrétien confié à un évêque.">diocèse</a> de Metz un service de
confession et de prédication en paroisses, il enseigne l’Histoire de l’Église
auprès des jeunes frères du couvent d’études à Bitche.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 4.0pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
Dès lors, le père Marie-Joseph va se faire connaitre
surtout comme <a href="http://metz.catholique.fr/glossaire/apotre" title="Dans la primitive Eglise, membre de la communauté chargé de l'annonce de l'Evangile.">apôtre</a>
du Tiers-Ordre de saint François. En quelques années, il crée des cercles
d’adolescents, de jeunes, rassemble des jeunes foyers, des prêtres. Tous
s’engageront à vivre l’Évangile à la suite et dans la famille de saint
François. Son âme d’<a href="http://metz.catholique.fr/glossaire/apotre" title="Dans la primitive Eglise, membre de la communauté chargé de l'annonce de l'Evangile.">apôtre</a>
éclate rapidement. Le père Marie-Joseph appartient probablement à ces hommes de
Dieu qui, d’une certaine manière, ont contribué au renouveau spirituel de ce
siècle. L’appel universel à la sainteté rappelé par le <a href="http://metz.catholique.fr/glossaire/concile" title="Réunion de l'ensemble des évêques.">Concile</a> Vatican Il le réjouit
profondément : la sainteté doit devenir le chemin de tout baptisé. Petit à
petit, il rassemble en une seule famille les différents groupes qui grandissent
: les foyers, les ainés, la Jeunesse Franciscaine, les enfants ou Cordigères,
le groupe des consacrés, les prêtres. Chacun de ces groupes se réunit une fois
par mois, et tous ensemble une fois par trimestre pour une journée de <a href="http://metz.catholique.fr/glossaire/recollection" title="Retraite de courte durée.">récollection</a>. Il a une attention
continuelle à la formation franciscaine des adultes et de la Jeunesse
Franciscaine. Il est soucieux de former les jeunes à un amour vrai et fidèle,
autant dans le <a href="http://metz.catholique.fr/glossaire/sacrement" title="Signe visible de la présence et de l'action de Dieu.">sacrement</a> du
mariage que dans le célibat consacré : deux manières de vivre la vocation
franciscaine et évangélique au sein du monde. Appuyé par les encouragements des
Papes, le père Marie-Joseph explique inlassablement comment la règle de l’Ordre
Franciscain <a href="http://metz.catholique.fr/glossaire/seculier" title="Prêtre vivant dans le monde sous l'autorité d'un évêque.">Séculier</a>
correspond à la soif de Dieu allumée par l’<a href="http://metz.catholique.fr/glossaire/esprit-saint" title="Troisième personne de la Trinité.">Esprit Saint</a> à l’heure de la
nouvelle évangélisation. A partir des années 1980 et malgré une santé fragile
qui le maintien dans un état de grande fatigue, il continue son ministère plein
de zèle pour l’évangélisation.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 4.0pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
Le 27 juillet 1993, en vrai fils de saint François, il
accueille plein de foi et d’<a href="http://metz.catholique.fr/glossaire/esperance" title="Confiance dans les promesses du Christ.">espérance</a>, notre sœur la
mort.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 4.0pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
Plus de 20 ans après sa mort, les fruits demeurent nombreux
et visibles, nourrissant une véritable réputation de sainteté : <a href="http://metz.catholique.fr/glossaire/laics" title="Ensemble des chrétiens - excepté les prêtres et religieux">laïcs</a>,
prêtres et consacrés marqués par la figure du Père Marie-Joseph poursuivent
leurs engagements dans l’Eglise et le monde, dans des domaines variés. Des
publications ont été réalisées, un site internet initié, une association
destinée à faire connaitre les œuvres du Père Marie-Joseph créée, des
rencontres annuelles organisées.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
Le Père
Marie-Joseph incarne une manière d’être capucine, proche des gens. Son
enracinement local est riche de relations très diverses et tend à s’étendre
avec la notoriété. Sa créativité pastorale est certaine en cette période
conciliaire qui encourage la sainteté des laïcs et leur engagement dans la
société française, en ayant également le souci des pays de mission. Son
accompagnement en faveur de la vie familiale est constant. Sa fidélité à
l’Eglise est reconnue, comme le rappellera la <a href="http://metz.catholique.fr/glossaire/cardinal" title="Les cardinaux sont les premiers collaborateurs du pape">cardinal</a>
Schönborn lors des célébrations marquant les dix ans de sa mort.</div>

“<i><b><span style="font-size: large;">A</span></b>s you sent me
into the world, I have sent them into the world</i>” (Jn 17:18); was the
theme chosen for the 15<sup>th</sup> Ordinary General Chapter of the OFS held
in Rome from 4<sup>th</sup> to 12<sup>th</sup> November this year. With 124
participants (including observers and other invitees) representing
75 nations, the chapter was a special
moment of grace for the international Fraternity to share, reflect together,
celebrate and, above all, discern the will of God for the future of the Order.<br />

Regarding the YouFra, emphasis was laid on the naming of the OFS Fraternal animator and the promotion of the “double belonging” OFS-YouFra.</span><br />

on 24<sup>th</sup> June 1978 by the apostolic letter <i>Seraphicus Patriarcha</i>. It is expected to be a year of grace for the entire OFS the world over. He gave enlarged authenticated copies of the Rule to all the Capitulars. In the middle of the week, the participants
made a trip to Subiaco at the Monasteries of St. Benedict and St. Scholastica on
the footprints of st. Francis, where he
once spent some time. Two round-tables were also held either to consider
concrete examples of living the OFS Rule
in the world or themes related to the management of the Order. The biographies
of two Blesseds who belonged to the OFS were particularly edifying to the
capitulars: Lucien Botovasoa (Madagascar) and Frans </span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Jägerstätter (Austria) as well and the explanation of the process of
postulation of Saints. Fraternal evenings were also an important part of the
chapter experience, when cultural diversity was celebrated with merry and gifts
from different cultural sources were
exchanged. In the last session, the capitulars approved resolutions coming from
the work of the past days as well as the budget for the next three years.</span></div>

Reflection on Faith<o:p></o:p></span></i></h3>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US"> Faith is a treasure at our disposal
from where we draw strength and wisdom when the need arises. It is a priceless
gift in our interior. Faith is to know God and Jesus Christ whom He sent. In
the midst of difficulties of life, our faith allows us to cling to certain
things and beliefs with steadfastness, simply that God exists and knows it all.
If we take our faith for granted then we will take our vocation for granted as
well. It is with faith that we accepted our call from God and with faith we
should live it. Faith is believing and living all that the church teaches and
practices: in God as one and three persons, in the sacraments especially
Eucharist, in the traditions of the church and in the Blessed Virgin Mary.
Without faith, no meaning and no reason for living because it is the foundation
of the Christian life in general and the religious life in particular. .Faith
is not a thing or an ideology but a relationship with God. St. Francis was a
man of faith and so as his followers let us follow his example.</span></div>

that God always keeps His promises. The Psalmist expresses it thus: “In God
alone is my soul at rest, my help comes form him, he alone is my rock, my
stronghold, my fortress on which I stand firm” (Ps 62). Hope moves us to trust
that the God in whom we believe will always love and care for us. Hope is a
gift from God. He does not promise or assure us comfort, fulfillment,
perfection, ease and bliss but assures us His love, care, mercy and life. There
are times everything seems dark, meaningless, cold and no reason to live the
type of life we have chosen. In such moments we need hope. When you say “yes”
to God in religious life, it is for ever i.e. continue the good fight to the
end in the midst of doubt, confusion and frustration. St. Francis was a man of
hope. Follow him and have that hope.</span></div>

The vows we profess are an expression of our love of God. Love is a unifying
principle that gives meaning and purpose to the life we live and to everything
we do and we are called upon to radiate that love. As imitators of Christ, we
have to have the type of love Christ had. Wherever there is love, there is a
cross and where there is a cross, there is a victim. Where there is love there
is always a sacrifice i.e. we have to forgo<span style="color: red;"> </span>something
in order to love. The cross is part of our religious life. There are
difficulties in living it so it can only be lived with love. “What therefore
can separate us from the love of Christ?” (<st1:place w:st="on"><st1:country-region w:st="on">Rom.</st1:country-region></st1:place> 8:31-39) Nothing. St. Francis
was a man of charity and the real and true love is offering our very selves to

It is a daily rendering of our lives to God and through it we come to know who
really He is and what He wants of us. The core<span style="color: red;"> </span>and
foundation of our lives is in Prayer. A Franciscan who does not pray is not
worth it because he ought to follow St. Francis who not only prayed but had
become prayer. In true prayer God challenges us to leave behind certain bad
habits and gives us what to do for him. Prayer is telling how we feel or how we
are now to God and listening to what He has to tell us on how to live and what
to do. St. Francis saw prayer as one of his life’s foundations and as his
followers we must place prayer at the center of our lives.</span></div>

<div class="MsoBodyText">
<span lang="EN-US"> St.
Francis said: the superior should be the first among equals. He also said I
want my brothers to consider themselves, sons of the same mother and added that
if any brother requires a tunic or a cord or anything else, another brother
should give it to him gladly. A Franciscan community is like a family that
shares a common home and table though having different careers and apostolate
to be done. Community or fraternal life is built on authority that sees itself
as that of service. It is a relationship of love where one sees oneself as
loved by others in the fraternity. Franciscan fraternity means sharing our
personal gifts with others. It means having a common purpose where we can only
go out on apostolic work as agreed in a common fraternal way. A good fraternity
should have or brothers should participate in one Eucharistic celebration, at
least one common daily meal and share one recreation. It is a place of
encountering others. Fraternal life does not just come so after our initial
formation, to live it, we have to be conscious that we build it daily and make an effort to live in
it. It calls for serious openness and accountability. There must be a sense of
joyful belonging. St Francis had to adjust himself because of others as he said
the “Lord gave me brothers to live with”.</span></div>

<div class="MsoBodyText">
<span lang="EN-US"> In
order of vows St Francis placed obedience first. As the brothers were
increasing, in order to prevent mediocrity he puts first obedience to God,
obedience to his ideals and obedience to the authority of the order. In the
“praises of the virtues”, he says “Holy obedience puts to shame all natural and
selfish desires. It mortifies our lower nature and makes it obey the spirit and
our fellow men. Jesus was obedient even to death. The obedience of the Virgin
Mary corrected the disobedience of Adam and Eve. The society today resists
obedience to the ten Commandments of God, confession, etc. The future of our
lives as religious lies in obedience. Obeying the will of God through superiors
is truly a road on which one cannot go wrong. Our obedience to our superior
must show itself in our loyalty in word and in deed, dialoguing and supporting
his programmes and speaking well of him in his absence.</span></div>

Reflection of Humility and Minority<o:p></o:p></span></i></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US"> Humility was our Lord’s favorite
virtue. The scriptures are full of his advice on humility and in it, Jesus
praises many people who were humble. S<sup>t</sup> Francis took his footstep
and is called the humble poor man of <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:city w:st="on">Assisi</st1:city></st1:place>.
Humility is the sine qua non of all progress on the road to perfection. A
humble person knows who God is and
it is seeing ourselves as God
sees us. We are to accept ourselves as sinners and that will helps us on our way to growth in the
spiritual life. The gate of heaven is very low, only humble people who bend
down can enter it. St John Vianney said that humility is to various virtues as
the chain that holds the beads of the rosary. A humble person goes frequently
for confession, is open to criticism, listens to others, verifies from others
and prays often to see clearly God’s will in his/her life. Many of us do not
live our commitments well because we are not humble or do not admit our faults.
Humility is the spiritual dimension of the soul. Minority is an attitude of
humility and lowliness. One who considers himself a minor consciously embraces
the lowly and flees the lofty. Such a person avoids arrogance in word and deed.
He never puts himself on display and never considers himself greater than
another. This is the attitude St Francis demands of us his followers. This he
called poverty of spirit, which we very much need.</span></div>

Reflection on Poverty<o:p></o:p></span></i></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US"> “Blessed are the poor in spirit,
Jesus said, for theirs is the Kingdom of heaven”. Francis and early brothers
took literally these words of Jesus and made them their own by living them. For
S<sup>t</sup> Francis, it was sufficient to be poor for the sake of Christ. To
be poor means to hate and detest everything, which till this moment, you have
loved and longed to have as your own. Poverty is a way of acting and choosing.
To be poor for most people means a negative thing but essentially it is
something positive. To be poor means to some extend to be without the things
which most people long for: money, necessities of life, security, honour etc.
To accept poverty cheerfully and voluntary is a virtue. It is truly a virtue
when we live it for the sake of Christ and his kingdom. To S<sup>t</sup>
Francis it is a source of joy that makes one to be united with God. Poverty is
to S<sup>t</sup> Francis a treasure to be sought, a valuable pearl of great
price that a man will sell all that he has in order to obtain it. For Francis
it was the object of his love and devotion hence he called poverty Lady
poverty. Summarily, poverty is an ideal to be worked for, guarded and
cherished. Secondly, it is a form of self-sacrifice, a denial of normal human
instincts in order that life may be offered to God. It makes one dependent on
God rather than on one’s resources. Lastly it enables one to be charitable.</span></div>

<span lang="EN-US">2<sup>nd</sup> reader this
is how God inspired me, Brother Francis, to embark upon a life of penance. When
I was in sin, the sight of lepers nauseated me beyond measure: but then God
himself lead me in to their company, and I had pity on them. When I had once
become acquainted with them, what previously nauseated me became a source of
spiritual and physical consolation for me. After that I did not wait long
before leaving the word. And God inspired me with such faith in his churches
that I use to with all simplicity, saying: We adore you, Lord Jesus Christ,
here and in all your churches in the whole world, and we bless you because by
your holy cross you have redeemed the word. God inspired me too and still
inspires me with such great faith in priests that I would be ready to turn to
them for help, even if they persecuted me. I do this, because in this world I
cannot see the most high son of God with my on eyes, except for his most holy
Body and Blood, which they receive and they alone administer to others. </span></div>

<span lang="FR" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 16.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: FR;">En 1181 ou 1182, naît à Assise Jean, fils de Pierre
Bernardone et de Dame Pica. Le père est un riche marchand drapier, et lors de
son retour de France, il surnomme son fils François. François est un
boute-en-train, et toute la jeunesse d’Assise profite de ses largesses. Il rêve
de devenir chevalier, ce qui serait une promotion sociale pour lui qui fait
partie des Minores.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

captif là-bas pendant environ un an ; s’ensuit une longue maladie. Lors
d’un départ comme chevalier, la voix du Seigneur lui dit qu’il ne faut pas servir
le serviteur mais le Maître. Petit à petit la vie de François change, il se
convertit à la volonté sur Seigneur.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

qu’était saint François désirait avec beaucoup d’ardeur que tous observent
notre règle qui n’est autre que celle parfaite de l’Évangile. Il donnait une
bénédiction spéciale à ceux qui sont, ou seront, ses zélateurs. Il disait en
effet à ses émules que la règle que nous professons est le livre de vie,
l’espérance du salut, le gage de la gloire, la moelle de l’Évangile, la voie de
la Croix, l’état de perfection, la clef du Paradis et le pacte de l’éternelle
alliance. Il voulait que tous la comprennent et la connaissent, et que les
frères en discutent souvent dans leurs entretiens pour remédier au
découragement et qu’en souvenir des vœux prononcés, chacun méditât souvent en
lui-même sur elle. (Miroir de perfection n° 76)<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="FR" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 16.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: FR;">Un jour, alors qu’il se promène à cheval dans la
plaine autour d’Assise, François croise un lépreux et en éprouve de l’horreur.
Mais celui qui veut devenir « soldat du Christ » saute de cheval,
embrasse le lépreux et lui donne une aumône. Un autre jour, François sort dans
la campagne pour méditer, et entre dans l’église Saint-Damien, qui tombe en
ruine. Là, tandis qu’il prie devant le Crucifix, le Christ lui dit par trois
fois : « François, va et répare ma maison qui, tu le vois, tombe en
ruine ! »<o:p></o:p></span></div>

François va se mettre à restaurer les églises en ruine de la région. Il ne
comprendra que plus tard, que le Christ lui demandait de restaurer l’Église
Universelle.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

cheval contraint par la maladie et une grande nécessité, François descendit de
cheval, quand il voulut dire les Heures, et, bien qu’il fût déjà tout trempé,
il dit l’office debout sur la route, continuant à recevoir la pluie, avec
autant de ferveur et de respect que s’il avait été à l’église ou dans sa
cellule. Il dit à son compagnon : « Si le corps veut manger en paix
et dans la tranquillité sa nourriture qui, comme lui, alimentera les vers, avec
quel respect et quelle piété l’âme devrait recevoir sa nourriture, c’est-à-dire
Dieu Lui-même. » (Miroir de perfection n° 94)<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Dieu s’applique à acquérir et à conserver intérieurement et extérieurement la
joie de l’esprit qui provient de la pureté du cœur et s’obtient par la piété de
l’oraison, les démons ne peuvent en rien lui nuire et disent :
« Parce que le serviteur de Dieu possède la joie dans les ennuis comme
dans la prospérité, nous ne pouvons trouver de moyens d’entrer en lui et de lui
nuire. » Mais ils se réjouissent quand ils peuvent tarir ou empêcher d’une
façon ou d’une autre la piété et la joie qui provient d’une authentique prière
et d’autres œuvres saintes ». (Miroir de perfection n° 95)<o:p></o:p></span></div>

de Dieu, vient trouver François pour savoir ce qu’il doit faire pour marcher à
sa suite. François et ce premier frère vont à l’église Saint-Nicolas et prient,
puis par trois fois ouvrent l’évangéliaire, où Dieu leur dit ce qu’Il
veut : « Si tu veux être parfait, va, vends tous tes biens et
donnes-en le prix aux pauvres. »<o:p></o:p></span></div>

crois-moi : c’est pour cela justement que je te considère davantage comme
un serviteur de Dieu et tu sauras que plus tu es tenté, plus tu m’es cher. Je
te le dis en vérité, personne ne doit se croire serviteur de Dieu, tant qu’il
n’a pas traversé les épreuves et les tentations. Une tentation vaincue est
comme une alliance que le Seigneur passe au doigt de son serviteur. Certains se
vantent de mérites accumulés au cours de nombreuses années ; ils se
félicitent de ne pas avoir été soumis à l’épreuve ; qu’ils se disent que
c’est la faiblesse de leur âme qui a été prise en considération par le
Seigneur : dès avant la première passe d’armes, la peur aurait suffi à les
vaincre. Les rudes combats sont réservés aux âmes fortes. » (2è Vie de

emporter pour la route ni besace ni pain ni bâton, qu’ils ne doivent avoir ni
chaussures ni deux tuniques, qu’ils doivent prêcher le Royaume de Dieu et la

pauvre à la suite du Christ. Elle s’enfuit de la maison paternelle pour les

tente sans succès de la ramener de force à la maison. Claire, bientôt rejointe

<span lang="FR" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 16.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: FR;">François s’efforçait de maintenir toujours au moins
son esprit en présence du Seigneur par une prière ininterrompue, pour n’être
point sans réconfort du Bien-Aimé. Car c’était pour lui un réconfort dans la
méditation que de prier et de parcourir les demeures du Ciel. Et c’était un
appui dans l’action car en tout ce qu’il entreprenait, il mettait sa confiance
dans la bonté de Dieu, non dans ses propres forces, et sa prière de tous les
instants lui permettait de se débarrasser dans le Seigneur de tout souci.

tous ; poussé par l’Esprit, il entra pour prier. Prosterné, suppliant
devant le Crucifix, il fut touché et visité de grâces extraordinaires qui le
rendirent tout autre que celui qu’il était en entrant. Encore tout ému, il
entendit soudain par un miracle inouï ce tableau qui lui parlait, l’appelant
par son nom : « François, lui disait-il, va et répare ma maison qui,
tu le vois, tombe en ruines ! » Effrayé, stupéfait, François était
incapable de trouver quoi que ce fût à répondre ; il se mit en devoir
d’obéir et concentra toutes ses forces pour exécuter. (2è Vie de Celano n° 10)<o:p></o:p></span></div>

est nécessaire de trouver du temps pour la prière, qui est la nourriture
spirituelle de notre âme. La chasteté parfaite ne nous impose d’éviter les
créatures de sexe différent du nôtre, mais elle demande que nous les aimions

exprimer complètement dans Ciel où nous deviendrons, serons « semblables
aux anges » (Mc 12,25).<o:p></o:p></span></div>

reconnaît le religieux vraiment obéissant, il proposa en parabole l’exemple du
cadavre : « Prenez, dit-il, un corps que l’âme a quitté et placez-le
n’importe où : vous verrez qu’il ne mettra aucune mauvaise grâce à se laisser
manœuvrer, ne se plaindra pas de la posture où on le laisse, ne réclamera pas
son changement. Installé dans une chaire, ce n’est pas en haut qu’il regardera
mais en bas ; revêtu de pourpre, il n’en paraîtra que deux fois plus pâle.
Voilà le parfait obéissant qui ne s’institue pas juge des raisons de son
transfert, n’intrigue pas pour se voir désigner tel couvent, n’est pas toujours
à demander son changement ; s’il reçoit une charge, il conserve son
humilité ; plus il est comblé d’honneurs, plus il se juge indigne. »

François s’étudiait à retrouver Jésus-Christ dans le recueillement de son âme,
tout en cachant aux yeux des égarés la perle de l’Évangile qu’il désirait
acquérir en vendant tous ses biens. Souvent, presque tous les jours, il allait
se mettre en oraison secrètement ; il s’y sentait en quelque sorte
contraint par la douceur qu’il goûtait et qui, pénétrant souvent son âme, même
sur la place et dans les autres lieux publics, le poussait à la prière.

conduisait dans la terre des vivants ». Il a toujours cherché la sainte
simplicité et il ne voulait pas que l’étroitesse des lieux où il vivait sur la
terre ne retienne les expansions de son cœur. le « Poverello »
d’Assise, avec son détachement des choses de ce monde et son imitation du
Christ, nous rappelle que Jésus a voulu, en choisissant de prendre notre
condition et en mourant sur la Croix, le premier, s’est détaché des biens de la
terre et qu’il est bon d’être détaché des choses de la terre pour être de plus

le discernement qui doit l’accompagner. Une nuit, un frère qui avait jeûné
beaucoup trop longtemps, se réveille parce qu’il meurt de faim. François
comprend ce qu’il lui arrivait, lui sert à manger et pour éviter qu’il n’ait
honte, il commence lui même à manger et l’invite à faire de même, ce que le

« Un brigand serait bien plus reconnaissant que toi, François, s’il avait

souvent : « On ne doit jamais se vanter et se féliciter, car ce
serait criminel, d’une action dont un pécheur est capable : un pécheur
peut jeûner, prier, pleurer, mortifier sa chair ; une seule chose lui est
impossible : être fidèle à son Seigneur. Nous n’avons à mettre notre point

la Croix Glorieuse le 14 septembre, tandis qu’il est en prière, il voit
descendre du ciel un séraphin aux six ailes resplendissantes qui s’approche de

s’élèvent au-dessus de sa tête, deux autres restent déployées pour le vol, les
deux autres lui voilent le corps. La vision disparut après avoir marqué la

aussitôt : « Pourquoi, s’il en est ainsi, abandonner le Maître pour
le serviteur, et, pour courir après un pauvre qui est un homme, délaisser le
Riche qui est Dieu ? » Et François : « Seigneur, que
veux-tu que je fasse ? ». « Retourne en ton pays, dit le
Seigneur, car ta vision était l’anticipation figurée d’un événement tout
spirituel qui s’accomplira non de la façon que l’homme propose, mais selon

avec humilité et dans la joie. Son exemple nous incite à accepter l’opposition
la plus proche et la plus chère, Dieu nous invite à partager avec ceux qui ne
partagent pas, et à accepter avec humilité les contrastes de l’environnement
dans lequel nous vivons tous les jours, mais en nous demandant avec fermeté :
de combien nous rendre utiles pour le bien des autres et de tout faire pour
contribuer à la gloire de Dieu.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="FR" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 16.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: FR;">François meurt le 3 octobre 1226, entouré de ses
frères. Le lendemain matin, entouré d’une foule portant cierges et rameaux et
chantant des hymnes et des cantiques, le corps de François s’arrête à Saint-Damien,
où Sainte Claire et ses sœurs peuvent le voir une dernière fois, comme il leur
avait promis, puis est inhumé à l’église Saint-Georges d’Assise. Saint François
sera canonisé le 12 juillet 1228 par le pape Grégoire IX, ce
dernier demandera à Thomas de Celano d’écrire une vie du saint.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="FR" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 16.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: FR;">François disait encore : « Une peinture
représentant notre Seigneur ou la bienheureuse Vierge les honore et nous
rappelle leur souvenir ; cependant, le tableau ne s’attribue d’autre
mérite que d’être ce qu’il est : du bois et de la couleur. Le serviteur de
Dieu est comme une peinture : une créature de Dieu par laquelle Dieu est
honoré à cause de ses bienfaits. Il ne doit donc pas s’attribuer à lui-même
plus de mérite que ne le font le bois et la couleur. C’est à Dieu seul qu’il
faut rendre honneur et gloire. » (Légende de Pérouse n° 104)<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="FR" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 16.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: FR;">François s’abandonna dès lors à l’esprit de pauvreté,
au goût de l’humilité et aux élans d’une piété profonde. Alors que jadis, non
seulement la compagnie, mais la vue d’un lépreux, même de loin, le secouait
d’horreur, il se mettait dorénavant, avec une parfaite insouciance pour
lui-même, à leur rendre tous les services possibles, toujours humble et très
humain, à cause du Christ crucifié. (Legenda Major de saint Bonaventure chap.
1, 6)<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="FR" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 16.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: FR;">Saint François a vécu dans la joie et dans la sérénité
pendant les périodes de maladies, pensant que la souffrance est un grand don de
Dieu qui doit être offerte au Père Miséricordieux, et qui ne doit pas être
déplorée par notre tristesse. Suivant l’exemple de François dans la maladie,
supportons nos souffrances avec patience et ne la faisons pas supporter aux
autres, et rendons grâce au Seigneur, non seulement pour la joie qu’Il nous
donne, mais aussi pour nous avoir permis de contracter cette maladie.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;">T</span>he national Fraternity of OFS-Netherlands held an elective chapter in Huiz Elizabeth, Denekamp from 9th to 11th June this year. OFS-Netherlands has some 230 members belonging to some 13 local Fraternities. The national elective chapter is a very important moment of the life of each national fraternity. At this event, all professed members (or delegates, according to the national Statutes and as is the case here) come together to choose by secrete ballot the Council and Minister who are to guide and animate the national fraternity for the next mandate, which is generally a three-year period. <div>

“Lui era un buon uomo e un
buon frate che ha dato molto all'OFS, e sicuramente a tante altre persone e
istituzioni. Ricordo come fino all'anno scorso ancora ci aiutava come

generosità e semplicità. Che Dio gli

most sincere condolences on the death of our brother, Fr. Ben Brevoort. I
have know Fr. Ben for almost as long as I have been a Secular Franciscan,
having first met him when he came on a visit to the National Fraternity of
Canada in the early 90's. Since then, our paths have crossed
frequently. He was so gifted, especially with languages, and the OFS
International Presidency benefited greatly from his skills in this area and his
willing generosity to share his gifts with us. He was such a wonderful
example of a brother who loved and embraced his vocation. I think it can also
be said that he had a "weak spot" for Secular Franciscans. He
will surely be missed by the entire Franciscan Family. </span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Segoe UI", sans-serif;">You, along with the members of your

<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 10px;">
St. Elizabeth of Hungary, also known as St. Elizabeth of Thuringia, was born in Hungary on July 7, 1207 to the Hungarian King Andrew II and Gertrude of Merania.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 10px;">
As soon as her life began, she had responsibilities from being a royal pressed upon her. While Elizabeth was very young, her father arranged for her to be married to Ludwig IV of Thuringia, a German nobleman. Because of this plan, Elizabeth was sent away at the age of four for education at the court of the Landgrave of Thuringia.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Elizabeth's mother, Gertrude, was murdered in 1213, when Elizabeth was just six-years-old. According to history, the murder was carried out by Hungarian noblemen due to the conflict between Germans and the Hungarian nobles. From this point on, Elizabeth's perspective on life and death dramatically changed and she sought peace with prayer.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Happiness was returned to her young life in 1221 when she was formally married to Ludwig, whom she deeply loved. Together the couple had three beautiful children, two of whom became members of nobility and the third entering the religious life, becoming abbess of a German convent.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Elizabeth continued to live a life full of prayer and a service to the poor. Ludwig, who was now one of the rulers of Thuringia, supported all of Elizabeth's religious endeavors even though she was a part of the royal court. She began to lead an austerely simple life, practiced penance, and devoted herself to works of charity. She used her royal position to advance her mission for charity.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 10px;">
In 1223, Franciscan friars arrived in Thuringia and taught 16-year-old Elizabeth all about Francis of Assisi's ideals. She then forth decided to live her life mirroring his.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 10px;">
She wore simple clothing and set aside time every day to take bread to hundreds of poor people in her land. Ludwig and Elizabeth were politically powerful and lived with a remarkable generosity toward the poor.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 10px;">
In 1226, when disease and floods struck Thuringia, Elizabeth took to caring for the victims. It is said she even gave away the royal's clothing and goods to the afflicted people. Elizabeth had a hospital built and provided for almost a thousand poor people daily.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Elizabeth's life was full of love and faith. However, tragedy struck when Ludwig passed away from illness in 1227. It is said upon hearing the news, she said, "He is dead. He is dead. It is to me as if the whole world died today." His remains were entombed at the Abbey of Reinhardsbrunn.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Elizabeth vowed to never remarry and to live a life similar to a nun, despite pressure from relatives.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Her vows included celibacy and an agreement of complete obedience to her confessor and spiritual director, Master Conrad of Marburg. His treatment of Elizabeth was very strict and often harsh. He held her to a standard that many saw as impossible to meet. He provided physical beatings and sent away her children. However, she continued to keep her vow, even offering to cut off her own nose, so she woud be too ugly for any man to want.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 10px;">
In 1228, Elizabeth joined the Third Order of St. Francis. Elizabeth, having received her dowry, founded a hospital in honor of St. Francis, where she personally attended to the ill. She ministered to the sick and provided support to the poor.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Elizabeth's life was consumed deeply by her devotion to God and her charitable labor. She passed away at the age of 24, on November 17, 1231 in Marburg, Hesse.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 10px;">
St. Elizabeth has been praised by Pope Benedict XVI as a "model for those in authority."</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 10px;">

<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 10px;">
One of her greatest known miracles occurred when she was still alive, the miracle of roses. It is said that during one of her many trips delivering bread to the poor in secret, Ludwig met with her and asked her questions to erase everyone's suspicions that she was stealing treasures from the castle. He asked her to reveal the contents under her cloak, and as she did a vision of white and red roses was seen. To Ludwig, this meant God's protection was evident. In other versions, it was her brother-in-law who found her. Elizabeth's story is one of the first of many that associates Christian saints with roses.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Another living miracle involved a leper lying the bed she shared with her husband. Her mother-in-law discovered Elizabeth had placed a leper in the bed, and feeling enraged, she informed Ludwig. Annoyed with the situation, Ludwig removed the bedclothes and instantly the "Almighty God opened the eyes of his soul, and instead of a leper he saw the figure of Christ crucified stretched upon the bed."</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 10px;">
After her death, miraculous healings began to occur at her graveside near her hospital. Examinations were held for those who had been healed from 1232 to 1235. The investigations, along with testimony from Elizabeth's handmaidens and companions and the immense popularity surrounding her, provided enough reason for her canonization.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Pope Gregory IX canonized her on May 27, 1235.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 10px;">
St. Elizabeth's feast day is celebrated on November 17 and she is the patron saint of bakers; beggars; brides; charities; death of children; homeless people; hospitals; Sisters of Mercy; widows.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Elizabeth's body was laid in a gold shrine in the Elisabeth Church in Marburg. Although the shrine can still be seen today, her body is no longer there. One of her own descendents scattered her remains at the time of the Reformation.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 10px;">
St. Elizabeth is often depicted with a basket of bread to show her devotion for the poor and hungry. She is also painted in honor of the "Miracle of Roses" and "Crucifix in the Bed."</div>

<span lang="IT">Dalla
pubblicazione della nuova Regola dell’Ordine Francescano Secolare il 24 giugno
1978, in diversi parti del mondo le relazioni tra i Frati e l’OFS sono entrati
come in uno stato di adolescenza, segnato dalla crisi tra autonomia e
interdipendenza. Mentre l’OFS si cerca ancora nella sua nuova identità definita
dalla nuova Regola, molti frati si sono detti "l’OFS è ormai un Ordine, quindi non abbiamo niente da fare con esso". Questa situazione causa una doppia sofferenza per l’OFS in diversi parti del mondo, e tutta la famiglia Francescana e anche le Chiese particolari ne soffrono le conseguenze. È ovvio
che dove i frati si impegnano per promuovere e assistere l’OFS secondo la sua
natura attuale definita dalla Chiesa,
l’OFS si rinnova sia nello spirito sia nei membri. Tal è il caso tipico dell’Etiopia
dove l’OFS era quasi sparito da anni.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">L’OFS rinasce in Etiopia per l’impegno dei nostri Fratelli. I frati Cappuccini della Custodia Generale dell’Etiopia si sono mobilizzati</span><span style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;"> </span><span style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">per rilanciare l’Ordine Francescano Secolare.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="IT">Tutto ha avuto inizio durante il Capitolo elettivo di 2012. Dopo di che il Ministro Generale, Fra Mauro Johri ha chiesto ai frati di promuovere l’OFS, il capitolo ha poi formulato una decisione a questo effetto. Di conseguenza, il Custode, Fra Yohannes Wessen ha nominato come animatore per l’OFS, fra Mathewos Ajabo. Subito, i frati si sono mossi per creare gruppi ad Addis Ababa, Awassa, Soddo e altri. È alla fine di tre anni di cammino che fra Mathewos ha chiesto la visita del Consiglio di Presidenza CIOFS per valutare la possibilità di amettere alcuni di questi alla professione e quindi animare i frati Assistenti. È in risposta alla sua richiesta, che la Presidenza CIOFS ha deciso di mandare Jenny Harrington, OFS, e Fra Francis Dor, OFMCap, Assistente Generale per condurre la visita in Etipia dal 25 maggio al 1 giugno 2016.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span lang="IT">Il 29 maggio, il primo gruppo di 24 personne ha fatto professione a Meganasse presso la Chiesa Parocchiale di San Francesco dei Frati Minori Cappuccini nella Diocesi di Endebr. Un secondo gruppo dovrebbe seguire tra pocco a Kanaffa, nella Diocesi di Soddo. Pian piano, seguiranno i gruppi di Addis Ababa, di Awassa ed altri. All’inizio, diversi tentativi sono state fatte per lanciare l’OFS in Etiopia, ma da quanto abbiamo raccolto, è sempre fallito per mancanza di Assistenza dai Frati e della continuità. Auguriamo ai Frati dell’Etiopia e a questa fraternità OFS che rinasce, tutte le benedizioni dal Cielo per una crescita solida e rapida per la nuova evangelizzazione.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
OFS-Madagascar a tenu un Congrès national du 2 au 8 septembre 2015 dans la ville de Manakara située au Sud est du pays dans le Diocèse de Farafangana où a vécu et est mort le vénérable Lucien Botova dont le procès de béatification a été introduit. Plus de 300 membre de l'OFS, de la Jeunesse Franciscaine ainsi que des Fioretti venus de toute l’île ont pris participé au Congrès - certain on entrepris de voyage de deux à trois jours pour y arriver. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Le Conseil International OFS a été représenté par Jenny Harrington,Conseillère international pour la zone de langue anglaise venant de l'Afrique du Sud; Michat Raout LeGrand, Conseillère international JeFra pour l'Afrique; et Fr. Francis Bongajum Dor, OFMCap. Assistant Général.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Le Congrès a été un moment important de formation, de partage ainsi que de prière en fraternité. C'était également un moment de témoignage de foi, et de la joie franciscaine dans cette partie du pays qui d'ailleurs depuis longtemps ne connait plus de présence franciscaine.</div>

Dans une Messe solennelle, concélébrée par beaucoup de frères Ex-Missionnaires, en présence d'un nombre important de sœurs Ex-Missionnaires et d'une considérable Congrégation, Mgr. Régis a dit qu'il voudrait que cette célébration ne soit pas centrée sur sa personne mais sur tous ceux et celles qui qui ont collaboré avec lui dans cette mission qui était vraiment difficile. Il a nommément rappelé quelques Frères, Sœurs et Laïcs, Missionnaires et Autochtones, qui lui ont été particulièrement proches, surtout dans les moments les plus difficiles. Mgr Régis, qui jouit d'une bonne santé ne limite pas son service seulement au grand Sanctuaire de la Réparation mais il se dispose aussi à aider l’évêque diocésain quand il est sollicité.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13857997810175975329noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1617869380915158208.post-30344106978582067782015-06-02T09:32:00.002+02:002015-06-08T11:00:59.787+02:00Un Couple, Membres de l'Ordre Franciscain Séculier en voie de BéatificationEn ce temps que nous vivons entre deux Synodes des Eveqes sur la famille, la Provindence Divine donne à l'Eglise universelle et à la Famille Franciscaine en particulier un couple dont les vertus héroiques ont été reconnues par l'Eglise: SERGIO ET DOMENICA BERNARDINI.<br />

Sergio Bernardini (1882-1966) est né à Sassoguidano en 1882. à 25 ans, il a épousé Emilia Romani.<br />
Ils ont eu trois enfants.<br />
<b>Une grande épreuve</b>: Entre 1908 et 1912, en moins de quatre ans, le jeune Serge a vu mourir son père, sa mère, son frère, son épouse et ses trois enfants.Une véritable épreuve qui évoque immédiatement l'histoire de Job. A trente ans, il se trouve tout seul dans la vie.<br />
Sa grande foi est son unique bastion dans laquelle il prend réfuge pour affronter l'avenir.<br />
A cause de difficultés financières des dettes accumulées à cause des maladies et décès des siens,<br />
il décide d'imigrer en Amérique pour chercher de l'argent. Cependant, quand les choses semblaient déjà aller bien pour lui, il retourne en Italie deux ans après, car il craignait de perdre sa foi.<br />
Le 20 Mai 1914, il se marie avec Dominique Bedoni (1889-1971). Ils vont passer bien 52 ans ensemble avant le décès de Sergio survenu le 12 Octobre 1966. Dominique le suivra le 27 Févier 1971.<br />
Des dix enfants avec lesquels Dieu a béni leur mariage, huit filles et 2 fils, les 2 garçons deviendront<br />
Franciscains dans l'Ordre des Frères Mineurs Capucins de la Province d'Emiglia Romagna: Fra Sebastiano Bernardini et Fra Giuseppe Germano Bernardini qui, par la suite est devenu Archeveque de Smirne.<br />
Six de leurs filles sont devenues Religieuses; une Franciscaine e 5 filles de St. Paul.<br />
Mardi le cinq Mai, le Pape François a autorisé au Préfet de la Congrégation pour les causes des Saints, Son Em. Card. Angelo Amato a promulguer le décret relatif à leur béatification parmis d'autres saints et Bienheureux. Le couple a vécu à Verica di Pavullo a Modena dans le nord d'Italie.<br />
<b>Du Testament spirituel de Dominique</b>: "<i>Tu me les a donné, Seigneur, je les ai élevés, mais ils sont tiens. Bénis-le.</i>" A ses enfants, déjà grands, elle disait: "<i>soyez saints, ayez du courage dans la souffrance."</i>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13857997810175975329noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1617869380915158208.post-45861888266598054262015-05-31T17:55:00.000+02:002015-05-31T17:55:11.158+02:00Cinq choses à savoir avant de se marier<h1>

<span lang="FR-CA">Mon épouse et moi-même entendons tout le
temps des propos sur notre mariage qui nous font sourire. Des remarques telles
que : "Vous semblez si heureux", "On dirait de jeunes
mariés", "Vous ne vous disputez jamais", etc. Nous sourions non
pas parce que ces phrases nous rendent heureux… Nous sourions parce que très
peu de personnes connaissent notre histoire. Et tout le monde en a une, même
nous.<br />
<br />
Il n'y a pas si longtemps, Consuela et moi étions sur le point de divorcer. Les
choses n'allaient pas bien et notre couple était en crise. Je ne dis pas cela à
la légère. Nous étions parvenus à un point de non-retour… ou du moins nous le
pensions. Des prêtres et des conseillers conjugaux avaient essayé de nous aider
à restaurer ce qui avait été et n'était plus. Personnellement, ce fut l'un des
moments les plus douloureux que j'aie jamais vécus. Avec du recul, en revenant
sur cette période de ma vie, si j'avais compris pleinement certaines choses
quand je me suis marié, la crise que nous avons traversée aurait pu être
évitée. Voici cinq clés : </span><span lang="FR-CA" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<h2>
<strong><span lang="FR-CA" style="font-size: 16.0pt; font-weight: normal;">1. Il
n'existe pas de plan B</span></strong><span lang="FR-CA" style="font-size: 16.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></h2>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="FR-CA">Un mariage dure toute la vie et ne finit
qu'avec la mort. Cela peut paraître peu réjouissant, mais c'est la vérité.
Quand j'ai fait la promesse d'aimer mon épouse pour la vie, je me suis engagé à
ce que notre mariage marche, quoi qu'il arrive. Mon état d'esprit d'alors
était pourtant que je me laissais toutes les options ouvertes. Si être marié ne
fonctionnait pas, ou qu'être avec Consuela ne durait pas, ou encore si elle ne
me rendait pas heureux, je voulais être sûr d'avoir une porte de sortie… ou
pire, une autre option. Mais dans le mariage, il n'existe pas de plan B, et
garder la porte ouverte m'empêchait de m'engager et de me consacrer pleinement
à mon épouse et à notre mariage. </span></div>
<h2>
<strong><span lang="FR-CA" style="font-size: 16.0pt; font-weight: normal;">2.
Dans le mariage, il ne s'agit pas de mon bonheur </span></strong><span lang="FR-CA" style="font-size: 16.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></h2>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="FR-CA">Beaucoup de couples commettent cette
erreur, et on l'entend souvent. Je le croyais moi-même en l'an 2000, quand nous
remontions ensemble la nef le jour de notre mariage. Je pensais :
"Consuela est mon épouse, elle doit donc me rendre heureux. C'est le
devoir de toutes les épouses. Et si elle ne me rend pas heureux, alors je
devrai chercher quelqu'un ou quelque chose qui le fasse". La vérité
est que, dans le mariage, il ne s'agit pas que de mon bonheur. Et mon épouse
n'a pas toute la responsabilité de mon bonheur. Le bonheur est subjectif et
relatif et, en tant qu'homme, ma définition du bonheur change tellement qu'il
n'y a aucune manière de satisfaire toutes mes exigences. Le mariage, c'est
l'amour et le respect mutuel et le fait d'honorer Dieu à travers notre bonheur.
Il ne s'agit pas de "mon" bonheur. </span></div>
<h2>
<strong><span lang="FR-CA" style="font-size: 16.0pt; font-weight: normal;">3.
Communiquer est plus efficace que le silence </span></strong><span lang="FR-CA" style="font-size: 16.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></h2>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="FR-CA">Je suis une personne introvertie. Je suis
également un homme. Parler de mes sentiments m'est donc aussi étranger et
inconfortable que de piloter un avion. Mon défaut, c'est que quand quelque
chose me tracasse ou m'ennuie, je suis silencieux… et je m'isole. Arrive un
moment où je réprime tellement mes sentiments que je commence à chercher des
façons morbides de canaliser ma colère, ma dépression, mes désirs sexuels, etc.
Ce dont j'ai pris conscience, c'est que personne ne m'aime et ne prend soin de
moi comme mon épouse. Je peux être sûr qu'elle va gérer mes angoisses et mes
émotions avec délicatesse. Et si je suis fâché avec elle, elle est l'unique
personne qui peut régler le problème... Alors, pourquoi ne pas parler avec elle
? </span></div>
<h2>
<strong><span lang="FR-CA" style="font-size: 16.0pt; font-weight: normal;">4.
Rendre service à mon épouse me profite à moi aussi</span></strong><span lang="FR-CA" style="font-size: 16.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></h2>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="FR-CA">Même si je dois rendre de petits services à
mon épouse pour faire réussir mon mariage, je me rends compte d'un phénomène
intéressant. Lorsque je fais quelque chose pour elle, cela me profite réellement.
Ne vous méprenez pas, nous ne devons pas rendre un service dans le seul but
d'être payé en retour. Mais il est bon que nous recevions quelque chose en
retour quand nous aidons nos épouses. Je trouve que quand je lui rends un
service (quand je l'aide à vider le lave-vaisselle, par exemple), cela remplit
le "réservoir d'amour" jusqu'au point où elle veut me rendre la
pareille. </span></div>

dysfonctionnement<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="FR-CA" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: FR-CA;">Dans
toute relation – travail, famille, amitié etc. –, il pourra y avoir des
différends, ce qui est normal. Pour une quelconque raison, nous mettons le
mariage dans une catégorie distincte. Nous pensons que si nous nous disputons
ou que nous discutons, c'est qu'il y a quelque chose qui ne tourne pas rond
dans notre couple. Immédiatement, nous arrivons à la conclusion qu'il y a un
dysfonctionnement et, ce faisant, nous commençons à penser à un plan B, nous
cessons de communiquer et sautons à la conclusion que notre mariage va mal.
Mais il n'y a rien de plus normal que les différends au sein du mariage ! C'est
la manière dont nous choisissons de traverser les mauvais moments qui détermine
si notre mariage va bien ou mal. Je me suis rendu compte que le fait de
regarder les désaccords comme quelque chose de normal m'a aidé à demander
pardon beaucoup plus vite, et à faire en sorte de les régler dès qu'ils se
présentent.<br />
<br />
Vous l'aurez deviné d'après ce que j'ai dit au début et d'après les
commentaires qui nous sont régulièrement adressés : Consuela et moi vivons un
super mariage… aujourd'hui. Mieux qu'avant. Mieux même qu'il ne l'était le jour
où nous nous sommes mariés. Particulièrement maintenant que je sais ces cinq
choses sur le mariage. Et vous ? Avez-vous trouvé des similitudes avec votre
mariage ? Qu'ajouteriez-vous à cette liste ?</span></div>

François d'AssiseTel était le thème principal du Chapitre national électif de l'OFS du Canada cette année, (14-17 Mai).<br />
Retrouver la simplicité de st. François signifie retrouver la personne meme de François. Pour le faire, la voie d'or c'est de retrouver ses Ecrits dans leurs simplicité. En plus, les Biographies nous offrent aussi des éléments de grande valeur à cet égard. par example sur la simplicité de sa joie, sur la simplicité de sa foi et sur la simplicité de sa Théologie.

<span lang="FR" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 13.0pt; mso-ansi-language: FR;">Quand j'ai reçu le message de Debbie Tessier, alors
Ministre nationale de l’OFS du Canada, me demandant à présenter une conférence
sur le thème "Retrouver la simplicité de St. François d'Assise", une
pensée m’est venue immédiatement à l’esprit: tu dois être simple. Mais, comme
vous le savez, il n'est pas facile d'être simple, pire encore quand on est adulte. Petit garçon, Antoine
de Saint Exupérie a fait des dessins simples d’un boa constricteur en train
d’avaler un éléphant. Aucun adulte ne pouvait dire à coup d'œil ce que c’était.
Le petit Prince seul a pu. Prions donc, que Dieu nous aide à être assez simples
pour redécouvrir la simplicité de celui qui a incarné en lui-même cette vertu.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 35.45pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 35.45pt;">
<span lang="FR" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 13.0pt; mso-ansi-language: FR;">Retrouver la simplicité de St. François est synonyme de retrouver
St. François lui-même. La simplicité est une vertu qui peut remplacer et
récapituler même quelques vertus avec lesquelles le saint d’Assise est
particulièrement identifié : la minorité, la pauvreté, l'humilité, la pureté
séraphique, etc. Mais François était aussi une personne simple dans le sens
commun du mot. Mis sur la balance de la culture de son temps, il aurait pesé plus sur le côté « non-cultivé ».
La qualification latine pour de telles personnes, qui revient beaucoup dans ses
écrits et qui est souvent traduite par "Simple", est "idiota" ;
une personne non-cultivé. François était probablement un diacre, mais
certainement pas un prêtre. Il était le fils d'un marchand qui pourrait à peine
lire et écrire le latin, avec beaucoup d'erreurs, comme les experts diraient
d’après ses écrits. Il n’a pas beaucoup étudié. Plusieurs fois, il a été ouvertement
traité comme illettré, soit en complément, soit par mépris. Tant ses
admirateurs que ses adversaires l'ont considéré "idiota". D'autres
ont dû écrire pour lui ce qu'il devait dire en présence du Pape. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 35.45pt;">

<span lang="FR" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 13.0pt; mso-ansi-language: FR;">Un épisode est relaté dans la traduction italienne des
écrits de St. François que je n'ai pas pu localiser dans la Traduction anglaise
en trois volumes par Regis Armstrong et d'autres. St. François a une fois
prêché un sermon aux habitants de la petite ville de Terni en présence de
l'Évêque du diocèse. Quand il eut fini, l'Évêque l'a apprécié en ces mots :
"<i>Du moment où le Seigneur a commencé
à fonder et construire Son Église, Il n'a jamais cessé d'envoyer des personnes
saintes qui la soutiennent par leur parole et leur exemple. Et dans ces
derniers jours, Il a voulu l'éclairer par ce petit pauvre homme, simple et
illettré</i>." St. Francis a aimé ceci et, dans la sacristie, a dit à
l'évêque que c'était la première fois qu'il était si bien honoré puisque
l'évêque avait correctement donné la gloire à Dieu et pas à une créature. (LP
103). On pourrait bien dire de sur Francis : "<i>Dieu a choisi ce qui est sottise par l'estimation du monde, pour
confondre les sages; Dieu a choisi ce qui est faible par l'estimation du monde
pour confondre les forts.</i>" (1Cor 1:27). Aucune personne n'est trop
petite, ou trop simple pour Dieu de s’en servir pour renouveler l'Église.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 35.45pt;">
<span lang="FR" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 13.0pt; mso-ansi-language: FR;">La simplicité a été censée être le poinçon d’un frère
mineur comme nous lisons de cette narration par Thomas de Celano : "<i>il a une fois dit à son compagnon :" je
ne me considérerai pas un Frère Mineur à moins que je n'aie l'attitude que je
te décrirai ". Et il a dit :" Me voici, un prélat des frères et je
vais au chapitre. Je prêche aux frères et les avertis et, à la fin, ils me
répliquent : ' un homme sans instruction et méprisable n'est pas adapte pour nous;
nous ne voulons pas que tu règne sur nous. Tu n’es pas capable de parler; tu es
simple et ignorant. ' Si à la fin je suis rejeté dans le déshonneur, méprisé
par tout le monde. Je vous dis, à moins que je n'entende ces mots avec la même
expression sur mon visage, avec la même joie dans mon cœur et avec la même
résolution pour la sainteté, alors je ne suis dans aucun sens un Frère Mineur. </i>"
(2Cel CVI). (Ce passage rappelle d'une certaine façon celui sur la joie
parfaite). La redécouverte de la personne de St. François est très importante
pour notre renouvellement personnel et collectif. Je vous proposerai ici des
éléments de ses écrits et de ses biographies.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="FR" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 13.0pt; mso-ansi-language: FR;">Il est important de rentrer
souvent aux écrits de St. François pour notre révision de vie. Nous pouvons
connaître beaucoup plus d'une personne en l’écoutant lui pour quelques minutes
qu'en écoutant d'autres parler de lui pendant des heures. Dans ses écrits, nous
écoutons François nous parler. Il était simple dans sa façon de communiquer,
tant oralement qu'écrit. Puisque des personnes bien cultivées voudraient
toujours expliquer des choses, même les plus simples, et finissent souvent par
les rendre moins compréhensible pour les simple personne, St. François a écrit
dans son Testament : "et je commande fermement par l'obéissance tous mes
frères tant clercs que laïcs, à ne pas placer n'importe quelle glose sur la
Règle ou sur cet écrit disant: ' ils devraient être compris de cette façon. '
Mais comme le Seigneur m'a donné de dire et écrire la Règle et ces mots simplement et
purement, pouvez vous les comprendre simplement et sans glose et les observer
avec une activité sainte jusqu'à la fin." (Test. 38-39). Il n'y a aucune
meilleure façon de redécouvrir la simplicité de St. Francis que de retourner à
ses écrits.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

vie, par exemple; tant la première que la Deuxième. La Règle de vie de chaque
groupe Franciscain est fondamentalement le Saint Évangile. St. François à écrit
dans le Testament : "et après que le Seigneur me donnât des frères,
personne ne me montrât ce que je devais
faire, mais le Très Haut Lui-même me révélât que je devais vivre selon la forme
du Saint Évangile. Et je l'ai fait noter dans peu de mots avec simplicité et le
seigneur Pape me les confirmât." (Test. 14). La Première Règle des Frères
Mineurs, dite la Regola non-bullata est la preuve claire sur comment St.
Francis a simplement pris le saint Évangile pour sa règle de vie. En fait,
presque chaque phrase en elle ressort directement de l'Évangile ou est soutenue
par l'Évangile ou autre texte scriptural. Les biographes témoignent que quand
le groupe grandissait en nombres, quand leur règle n'était pas encore
officiellement approuvée, quelques personnes et parmi eux des frères, ont voulu
qu'ils adoptent une des Règles monastiques précédentes : la Règle de st. Augustine,
ou de st. Benoit.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 35.45pt;">
<span lang="FR" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 13.0pt; mso-ansi-language: FR;">L'auteur de la Légende de
Pérouse relate un incident qui a probablement eu lieu au Chapitre des nattes de
1221 en présence du Cardinal Hugolin, futur Pape Gregory IX et 5000 frères. Ils
avaient demandé au Cardinal de persuader Francis de suivre les conseils des frères
cultivés et de se laisser parfois guidé par eux. Ils ont fait référence aux
Règles de Saint Benoit, de saint Augustine et de saint Bernard qui ont telle et
de telle normes pour une vie religieuse plus organisée. Francis à dit à tous
présents et à l'entendant du Cardinal :
"… mes frères, Dieu m'a appelé pour suivre le chemin de la simplicité qu’Il m’a montré. Je ne veux donc pas
que vous ne me nommiez d'autres Règles, ni celui de st. Augustin, ni celui de
st. Bernard ni de st. Benoit. Le Seigneur m'a révélé que c'est Sa volonté que
je sois une personne folle aux yeux du monde." (LP 114; 1673 FF). La Règle
de vie devait ainsi être simple. En fait, tant François que Claire ont vécu la
plupart de leur vie sans avoir dans la main une Règle officiellement approuvée.
La leur était un aller de l'Évangile à la vie et la vie à l'Évangile quotidienne.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

exemple, la Lettre à tous les fidèles, qui est le fondement charismatique et le
prologue officiel de la Règle de l'Ordre Franciscaine Séculaire. Cela pourrait
bien être un sermon de St. Francis transformé en une lettre à tous. Elle est
simple et claire sur deux points. D'une part, ceux qui aiment le Seigneur et qui
font la pénitence et Reçoivent la Sainte communion et font de bonnes œuvres sont
bénies. Sur l'autre, ceux qui ne font pas de pénitence et ne reçoivent pas de
Sainte communion et vivent dans le vice et le péché sont maudit. Il n'y a aucun
euphémisme ni de tentatives théologiques et philosophiques pour expliquer
comment et pourquoi. St. Francis a parlé et a écrit simplement, visant le cœur
humain.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="FR" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 13pt;">Du début de sa conversion, François a prêché la pénitence en termes très
simples. Ses sermons ont aussitôt sollicité la conversion de ses premiers
compagnons. Dans l'approbation du mouvement commencé par Francis, le Pape
l'Innocent III leur a donné la permission de prêcher la pénitence. Tandis que
Dominique et ses compagnons se sont engagés à poursuivre des études sérieuses
afin de prêchent la Vérité, François et ses frères ont opté pour des
prédications très simples, plus par exemple que par des mots. Les Clercs ainsi
que les frères laïcs pouvaient prêcher. (Cf. Rnb XVII). Voici ce qu'il dit dans
la Règle : « <i>j'avertis et j’exhorte
aussi les mêmes frères que, dans leurs sermons, leurs mots soient réfléchis et chastes, pour l'aide et
l'édification des du peuple, annonçant aux fidèles des vices et vertus, la
punition et la gloire dans des discours brefs, parce que tandis que sur la
terre, le Seigneur a parlé en termes brefs.</i> » (Rb IX, 3).<o:p></o:p></span></div>

d'Écriture sainte, aucun argument philosophique ni développements théologiques.
François et ses compagnons n'utilisaient pas toujours de mots prêcher au peuple.
Aux frères qui allaient en mission parmi des Musulmans deux lignes d'action sont
données dans la Règle: "<i>premièrement
qu’ils ne font aucun conflit ou discussions, mais qu’ils soient soumis à chaque créature humaine pour l'amour
de Dieu et avouent seulement d’être des Chrétiens. L'autre est que quand ils
voient qu’il plaît ainsi au Seigneur, ils peuvent proclamer la parole de Dieu
pour que les autres puissent croire à Dieu le Père Tout-puissant et le Fils et
l'Esprit Saint … et être baptisé pour devenir des Chrétiens, car, si on ne
renaît pas d'eau et l'Esprit Saint, on ne peut pas entrer dans le Royaume de
Dieu</i>." (Rnb XVI, 6-7). D'autre part, parle aux fleurs des champs, aux
oiseaux et aux animaux les invitant tous à la louange de Dieu. Il faut un véritable
esprit d’enfant pour faire ceci.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

un troisième exemple dans les Prières. Jésus a enseigné aux disciples à être
simple dans la prière pour la raison fondamentale que Dieu les aime et sait de
quoi ils ont besoin même avant qu'ils ne demandent, (Cf. Mt 6,8). Alors Il les
a enseignés "le Notre Père". Beaucoup de Pères de l'Église ont écrit
sur la grandeur et la profondeur de cette prière. Le Pape Benoît XVI dit qu'il
est légitimement appelé "la prière du Seigneur" non seulement parce
qu'il a été enseigné par Jésus, mais plus ainsi parce que c'était la propre
prière de Jésus, sa façon de parler au Père, son secret personnel qu'il a
révélé à ses disciples. Aussi simple qu'elle peut paraitre, les pères de
l'Église enseignaient déjà qu’il n’y a aucune autre prière que nous pouvons
formuler qui n'est pas déjà contenu dans la Prière du Seigneur.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm; mso-add-space: auto; text-align: justify; text-indent: 35.45pt; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">

<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm; mso-add-space: auto; text-align: justify; text-indent: 35.45pt; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span lang="FR" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 13pt; line-height: 115%;">Dans la Règle, la prière du Seigneur est un remplaçant des Psaumes. Les frères
laïcs, qui étaient généralement illettrés, devaient le dire un nombre indiqué
de temps, selon l'Heure de l'Office Divin. (Cf. Rnb III; Rb III). Il écrit dans
le Testament : "nous le clercs nous
dissions l’Office comme les autres clercs; les frères laïcs disaient le Notre
Père." (Test. 18). Dans la paraphrase de Notre Père, St. Francis nous a
laissé un trésor de sa méditation sur la prière du Seigneur. Ce n'est pas une
formule sèche et magique à être récité, mais plutôt un chemin d'intimité
filiale avec Dieu. Aucun franciscain ne peut s'excuser pour ne pas prier avec
l'Église sur des raisons qu'il/elle est illettré(e), ou n'a pas de bréviaire.
La prière franciscaine a été généralement décrite comme une prière affective,
ou la prière du cœur. La tradition monastique insiste sur la mélodie dans la
psalmodie. St. Francis, de l'autre côté, dit aux frères: "les clercs (doivent)
dire l’Office avec dévotion devant Dieu.
Qu’ils ne se concentrent pas sur la mélodie de la voix, mais sur l'harmonie du cœur,
que la voix soit en harmonie avec le cœur, celui-ci vraiment dans l'harmonie
avec Dieu." </span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 13pt; line-height: 115%;">(LOrd

présentent St. Francis vu par ses contemporains. Ils ont été particulièrement
marqués par sa simplicité. Il n'est pas facile de rester simple quand nous
sommes célèbres et dans l'autorité. St. François est resté simple, et ceci fait
la différence. Thomas de Celano, st. Bonaventure, La Compilation d’Assise, la
Légende de Trois Compagnons, etc, tous nous présentent beaucoup de faits de St.
François qui aurait autrement été perdu si ces documents n'ont pas été écrits.
Dans son deuxième œuvre, Thomas de Celano consacre environ six chapitres sur la
sainte simplicité: chapitres 142-147. D'autres passages relatent la simplicité
de sa joie, la simplicité de son comportement même en présence des autorités
ecclésiastiques comme des évêques, des cardinaux et le Pape, la simplicité de
sa relation aux créatures etc.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Pape Francis nous invite à s’engager dans un processus de la nouvelle
évangélisation marquée par la joie évangélique. Il dit : "la joie de
l'Évangile remplit les cœurs et les vies de ceux qui rencontrent Jésus."
(EG n°1). Dans la version italienne des Sources Franciscaines, coordonnées par
Ernesto Caroli, nous trouvons dans le Legende de Perouse, une description vive
de la joie de St. Francis :<br />
"Du moment de sa conversion jusqu'au jour de sa mort, Francis était
toujours très dure avec son corps. Mais sa tâche la plus haute et passionnée
était celui de posséder et conserver en lui-même
la joie spirituelle.<br />
Il a disait souvent: "si le serviteur de Dieu sera préoccupé pour avoir et
conserver habituellement la joie intérieure et extérieure, qui apparaît d'un cœur
pur, les démons ne le dérangeront pas dans quoi que ce soit, car ils diront : '
étant donné que ce serviteur de Dieu reste joyeux dans le tourment comme dans
la prospérité, nous ne trouvons aucune brèche par laquelle entrer en lui et lui causer du
mal. '"<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="FR" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 13.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: FR;">Un jour, il a reproché un de
ses compagnons qui portait un long visage; le Pape Francis dirait un visage de
funérailles. Il a dit : "pourquoi montres-tu de cette façon la tristesse
et l'angoisse de tes péchés ? C'est une question privée entre toi et Dieu. Prie
que dans Sa miséricorde, il puisse te donner la joie du salut. Mais en ma
présence et en présence des autres, fais attention pour te montrer joyeux. Il
n'est pas commode que le serviteur de Dieu se fasse voir à son frère et
d'autres personnes déprimées et avec un visage attristé." (LP 97).<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm; mso-add-space: auto; text-align: justify; text-indent: 35.45pt; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span lang="FR" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 13.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: FR;">Une telle joie n'est pas une
question de plaisanteries inutiles faites juste pour amuser les gens. St.
Francis avertit : "<i>bienheureux le
religieux qui n’a aucune joie et plaisir sauf dans les très saintes paroles et
œuvres du Seigneur et avec ceux-ci, conduit les gens à l'amour de Dieu avec
joie. Malheur à ce religieux qui enchante avec des paroles creuses et oisives
et avec ces-ci mène les gens au rire.</i>" (Adm XX).<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="FR" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 13.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: FR;">Nous connaissons tous la
description ou le test de St. Francis sur la joie parfaite. Ce n'est pas quand
les affaires marchent bien pour nous, quand nous avons le progrès et le succès
en tout ce que nous faisons, quand nous avons tout ce que nous désirons et même
plus, quand nous sommes bien estimés par des gens qui nous respectent et nous
honorent, quand nos droits sont respectés ou notre autorité reconnue etc que
nous avons la joie parfaite. Vient le moment où toute chose et chaque personne
à qui on pourrait probablement s’accrocher, semblent nous tourner le dos ;
un moment où même vos frères et sœurs vous méprisent et vous rejettent. C’est
alors que se vérifie la qualité de la joie. St. François termine en disant
"si j'aurai de la patience et ne serai pas troublé, en ceci consisterait
la joie parfaite, aussi bien que la vraie vertu et le salut de mon âme."<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="FR" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 13pt; line-height: 115%;">ii. La simplicité de sa foi : Jésus a dit "<i>vraiment je vous dis, si vous ne changez pas à pour devenir comme de petits
enfants, vous n'entrerez pas dans le Royaume des cieux.</i>" (Mt 18:3). Les
petits enfants sont un paradigme de simplicité. Ils n'ont pas des difficultés à
reconnaitre leur père, la mère, les frères et sœurs et donc leur identité.
Quand Jésus nous révèle que Dieu est Notre Père, il faut le cœur simple d'un
enfant pour le comprendre dans toute sa profondeur et ses conséquences. C'est
une nouvelle naissance et une nouvelle identité que même le Docteur Nicodème ne pouvait pas comprendre.
Quand François a découvert la simple vérité que Dieu est notre Père, il s’est
déshabillé en public, et il a tout remis
à son père et a ouvertement déclaré : "jusqu'à présent, j'ai appelé Pietro
Bernardone, ' mon père '. Dorénavant, je peux librement dire ' Notre Père qui es
au ciel! '" François a ainsi redécouvert ce que nous sommes tous, par la
foi à Jésus Christ et le baptême dans l'Esprit.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="FR" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 13.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: FR;">Tout comme dans une famille
personne ne choisit ses frères et sœurs, de la même façon aussi, les enfants de
Dieu ne choisissent pas leurs frères et sœurs. St. François écrit dans son
testament : "et après que le Seigneur m'a donné des frères, personne ne
m'a montré ce que j'ai devais faire, mais le Très Haut Lui-même me révélât que j'ai devais vive selon la forme du Saint Évangile."
(Test. 14). La fraternité évangélique n'est pas un statut social, mais une
relation réelle. Des fraternités franciscaines sont basées sur ce fait et pas
sur des idéologies.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="FR" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 13pt;">Nos jours sont fortement marqués par les publications de scandales causés
par certains d'entre nous, prêtres. Ceci a jeté le sacerdoce dans le discrédit
dans certains contextes. Saint Francis dit
ceci sur sa foi aux prêtres : "alors le Seigneur m'a donné et me donne
toujours une telle grande foi en des prêtres qui vivent selon la Sainte Église
romaine à cause de leur ordination, que même s'ils devaient me persécuter, je
voudrais toujours faire recours à eux. Et si j'avais autant de sagesse que Salomon
et je rencontrais des prêtres mondains pauvres, je ne voudrai pas prêcher dans
leurs paroisses contre leur volonté. Et celle-ci et tous les autres, je veux
les craindre, aimer et honorer comme mes seigneurs. Et je ne veux pas
considérer aucun péché en eux, parce que dans eux je discerne le Fils de Dieu
et ils sont mes seigneur. Et je ceci je le fais parce que, du Très Haut Fils de
Dieu, je ne vois rien corporellement dans ce monde sauf son très saint Corps et sang qu'eux seulx reçoivent et servent aux
autres." </span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 13pt;">(Test. 6-10).<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="FR" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 13pt;">iii. Considérons aussi à ce point, ce que j'appellerais la simplicité de
théologie Franciscaine. Une grande préoccupation des théologiens au Moyen Âge
était comment expliquer la présence réelle de Jésus dans l’Hostie. La réponse
de St. Francis peut être trouvée dans la première Admonition, intitulée « le
Corps du Seigneur ». Un titre plus indicatif pour cette Admonition
serait : "Comment peut on voir Dieu ?" . La réponse de St.
François peut être reprise de façon suivante : Dieu est l'Esprit et on peut donc
Le voire seulement dans l'Esprit. Qui voit Jésus, voit Dieu. Comme ceux qui ont
vu son humanité et n'ont pas vu, ni cru en sa divinité sont condamné, de même
ceux-là aujourd'hui qui le voient sous la forme de pain et le vin, sanctifié
par Ses propres mots et refusent de croire selon l'esprit. En cette forme, Il
reste avec ses fidèles jusqu'à la fin du monde. Mais comment expliquons-nous ceci?
D'autres théologiens ont inventé des termes comme "la
Transsubstantiation". Selon St. Francis, il suffit que le Seigneur ait dit
: "ceci est mon corps et mon sang pour le nouvel Alliance et « qui
mange ma chair et boit mon sang a la vie éternelle. » Ceci doit être cru
en toute simplicité. L'incarnation dans continue même quotidiennement dans
l'Eucharistie.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="FR" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 13.0pt; mso-ansi-language: FR;">Le Cardinal Fulton J. Sheen, dans son livre <i>The
Eternal Galilean</i>, dit que Dieu se révèle à deux groups de personnes :
des simples et des sages. Des simple sont ceux qui ne savent rien, des sages
sont ceux qui savent de ne pas tout savoir, ou encore, ceux qui savent que ce
qu’ils savent n’est rien par rapport à ce qu’ils pouvaient bien savoir. D’après
le Cardinal, ces deux groupes sont personnifiés dans les Evangiles de la
naissance par les bergers et les roi-mages venus d’orient. Le premier groupe a
été conduit à Jésus par le message d’un ange. Le deuxième, par une étoile. Ils
ont tous reconnu le Sauveur et le Roi dans l’Enfant de Bethléem. Ce que ces
deux groupes des personnes ont en commun c’est l’humilité qui les ouvre à la
grandeur de Dieu. Au contraire, Hérode et les Scribes, auto-suffisants, qui
savaient des Ecriture que le Christ devait naitre à Bethléem, ne l’ont pas
trouvé.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="FR" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 13pt;">Notre façons d’assister à Sainte la Messe, comment nous recevons la Sainte
communion et comment on se comporte en présence du Saint-Sacrement est une
forme de témoignage simple qui dit beaucoup. Nous ne sommes pas tous capables
d’écrire des traités théologiques sur la présence Eucharistique, mais nous
pouvons tous le témoigner par notre façon de participation à la Messe, la réception
de Sainte communion et la vie.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<b><span lang="FR" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 13.0pt; mso-ansi-language: FR;">Conclusion </span></b><span lang="FR" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 13.0pt; mso-ansi-language: FR;">: Après cette considération de la simplicité de St. François dans ses
écrits et dans les biographies, avec lesquelles j'invite tous à se familiariser,
voici quelques simples admonitions de St. François sur la simplicité :<br />
Il dit : "<i>béni le serviteur qui ne
se considère pas mieux quand il est loué et exalté par les gens, que quand on
le considère vil, simple et sans valeur, car l'homme vaut ce qu'il vaut devant
Dieu, rien de plus</i>." (Adm. XIX). Bonaventure témoigne aussi que St.
François a eu l'habitude de dire souvent : "<i>l'homme vaut ce qu'il est aux yeux de Dieu et non plus!</i>" (LM
VI, 1). Quand une personne fait un choix de vivre l'Évangile d'une façon
radicale, comme François et ses premiers compagnons, il est inévitable que les
gens le considèrent vil, illettré et sans valeur. Quand on sait ce qu’on a
volontairement renoncé, quand on est moqué comme l'illettré simplement parce
qu'on est mal habillé, qui ne serait pas tenté de réagir immédiatement et
prouver que nous ne sommes pas vraiment ce que l'autre pense ? Beaucoup de
frères ont eu cette tentation. " Quand vous vous comparez avec d'autres,
il y aura toujours des personnes plus grandes d’autres moins grandes que vous;
dit les Desiderata. Les premières peuvent vous causer une tristesse inutile et
vous conduire à commettre le péché d’envie. Lea dernières peuvent vous pousser
à la vanité. St. François indique la sortie de ce piège : considérez toujours
ce que vous valez devant Dieu; c'est ce que vous valez et rien de plus. Autrement
dit, vivez en présence de Dieu.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 53.45pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 35.45pt;">
<span lang="FR" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 13pt;">François dit ailleurs : "Ne soyons pas sage et prudent selon la chair,
mais nous devons plutôt être simples et humbles et purs. … Nous ne devons
jamais désirer être au-dessus de d'autres, mais au lieu de cela nous devrions
être des serviteurs et soumis à chaque créature humaine pour l'amour de
Dieu." (2LF. 45-47). Observons en passant que ceci n'est pas de la philanthropie
dans la compréhension laïcisée de cela. C'est plutôt l'amour de tous comme
expression de son amour préférentiel pour Dieu. Le Seigneur Jésus Christ dit le
plus grand commandement est ceci : « <i>tu
aimeras le Seigneur ton Dieu de tout ton cœur, de toute ton âme et de toute ta
pensée. … Le deuxième est semblable : tu aimeras ton prochain comme toi-même. »</i>
(Mt 22:37-38). L'amour de St. François pour la création comme il est chanté dans
le cantique dit du frère Soleil et comme cela est bien connu de tous, était
parce qu'il a perçu dans les éléments de la création quelque chose de la
grandeur et de la beauté et la bonté de Dieu. Au philanthrope et à l’écologue
l'athée, François pourrait dire "BRAVO!" Mais, ensuite : « <i>que sert-il à l'homme de gagner le monde
entier et perdre son âme</i> ? ».<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 35.45pt;">
<span lang="FR" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 13pt;">François ne méprise pas les études et les personnes cultivées. Quand il dit
dans le Testament : « <i>nous étions
simples et soumis à tous »</i> il implique que les choses ne sont plus les
mêmes au moment de où il écrit. Il a personnellement permis à Antoine de Padoue
d'enseigner aux frères la Théologie, à la seule condition que cette occupation
n'éteint pas l'esprit prière et la dévotion. (Cf. LAnt; Rb V, 2). Dans son
Testament, il invite les frères à honorer des théologiens et des prédicateurs.
Il écrit : « <i>et nous devons honorer
et vénérer tous les théologiens et ceux qui administrent les très saintes
paroles divines, comme ceux qui nous administrent l'esprit et la vie. »</i>
(Test. 13). Néanmoins, François n'a pas voulu que les frères aient couru après
des études comme tout leur bonheur dépendait de cela. Dans ce que l'on
considère généralement comme le cœur de la Règle Franciscaine, il écrit :
« <i>Et ceux qui ne savent pas lire ne
devraient pas en être préoccupés, mais prêter attention à ce que ils doivent
désirer par-dessus c’est d’avoir l'Esprit du Seigneur et sa sainte opération,
le prier toujours avec un cœur pur et avoir l'humilité, la patience dans la
persécution et dans l'infirmité et aimer ceux qui nous persécutent et nous
reprochent et nous calomnient … » </i>(Rb 10, 8-10).<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="FR" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 13pt;">Il y a un proverbe qui dit que quand le Sage pointe du doigt la lune, le
fou regarde le doigt. Saint François était un homme simple qui a redécouvert la
simplicité des Evangiles, l’a embrassée tout simplement, vécu simplement mais
avec courage, et l’a communiqué simplement. Par lui, beaucoup redécouvrent la
simplicité de Dieu Un et Trine, ainsi que la belle simplicité de la foi que
nous profession.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
