Our brother, Dave Kozemchak, OFS from St. Thomas More Fraternity in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania is requesting our Franciscan Family, nationwide, for prayers to end short and long-term abortions.
Setting the stage for a weekend of formation visioning, Fr. David Pivonka, TOR, provided a dose of reality. “The world has profoundly changed in the last 25 years,” said the host of EWTN’s Wild Goose series.
"It is no accident that the message for this new year speaks to the political arena. There are those of the mind that Franciscans have no place in politics. Both Jesus and Francis ministered in the heart of the political sphere because this is where the “least of these” resided and were ignored. It is in this political arena where we must pray, learn and act for justice, to right the wrongs done to our brothers and sisters who have no recourse and are left to fend for themselves."
“How silently, how silently the wondrous gift is given!”-- These words came to mind as I read the beautiful Christmas letter sent to us today from our brother and General Minister, Tibor Kauser.
The national website committee is looking for help.
