Pentecost
To all my sisters and brothers in the Secular Franciscan Order, all over the world
"... filled day by day with the comfort and grace of the Holy Spirit"
My dear Sisters and Brothers!
May the Lord give you his peace!
"Rejoice in the Lord always. I shall say it again: rejoice!" On the Feast of Pentecost let us listen to St. Paul; rejoice and rediscover, that we are filled, day by day, with the comfort and grace of the Holy Spirit, as also Saint Francis has experienced it. God always provides for us the best we can use in order to love our neighbours in a deeper manner, to accomplish our duties better, to walk on the way of our secular franciscan vocation, as salt of the Earth and light of the World.
