Many people assist in the work of Amazon Relief, both in the United States and in the Amazon. Administration in the United States is coordinated by Jim Flickinger, OFS.
After hearing Jim speak about AMAZON RELIEF, Clarice Fourari, OFS, of St. Francis of Assisi Fraternity, Apopka, is arranging a 5k Race (Run/Walk). This race begins in beautiful downtown Eustis, at Ferran Park, travels up scenic Northshore Drive viewing Lake Eustis then returns to Ferran Park!

"The Land of the Promise" is a Franciscan Publication of our Franciscan friars at Malta - specifically on the Holy Land:
THE LIFE AND LEGENDS
OF SAINT FRANCIS OF ASSISI
Written in French by
Fr. Candide Chalippe, OFM, in 1727
tr. into English
(This is a 514-page pdf - beautifully written)

Saint Bonaventure writes that Francis of Assisi, while an unskilled speaker, is empowered by the Holy Spirit while ministering. Wherever he goes, his sermons are accompanied with miracles of great power, including prophecy, casting out devils, and healing the sick. As a result, his hearers pay attention to what he says 'as if an angel of the Lord was speaking.'"
Gifts of the Spirit for the Common Good
We are all partakers of the Gifts of the Holy Spirit through Baptism! Are we using the Gifts He has given us?
It is time to begin,
NOW!

A Secular Franciscan needs to be persistently
faithful in living the OFS Rule, so that other people recognize that
Franciscans see life in a special way!
