Download or read book A Drama of Reform written by Benedict J. Groeschel and published by Ignatius Press. This book was released on 2005-01-01 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ÊA Drama of ReformÊis the story of the new order founded by Fr. Benedict Groeschel and seven other Capuchin friars, and of the first two decades of a reform in religious life begun in 1987. United in the desire to be authentic disciples of Jesus Christ and following in the footsteps of Saint Francis, they want to encourage the army of Christians of all denominations who are discouraged by the erosion of Gospel values in our culture. This inspirational volume combines more thanÊ100 dramatic photosÊfrom the interesting and varied aspects of their daily lives. Along with the wonderful photos, members of the two independent communities of the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal and Franciscan Sisters of the Renewal provide short essays on their life, which will enable others to experience the earnestness and enthusiasm of this young and fervent group. More than one hundred sisters and friars from a dozen countries have come together with the common desire to follow the Gospel of Jesus Christ after the example of Saint Francis and the tradition of the Capuchin reform. Well-known for their work with the poor and homeless in the South Bronx and other deprived areas, these Franciscans communicate a deep sense of the joy and love of those trying to be totally committed to living the Gospel in an increasingly de-Christianized world.
Download or read book Franciscan Reforms for a Secular Economy written by Roderic Hewlett and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The pressures in the social world begin with desires, perceptions of fairness, and aspirations. People see that others have access to health care, career opportunities, education, and other benefits and they do not. They see this lack of opportunity as unjust, potentially biased. This builds emotional anxiety, and these anxieties lead to attempts to influence outcomes through politics, legal remedies, and in extreme circumstances, violence. Wealth gaps, income gaps, access to food and clean water, all of the trappings of life, are viewed through a lens of justice. As people seek to socially differentiate themselves from others, even if it is not their intent, they create the perception of social superiority. This sense of superiority and potentially indifference all lead to social pressure and friction. These pressures build over time, much like natural forces create pressure, and eventually these pressures must be released. Indifference fortifies social pressures. Social empathy and a helping hand relieve the pressures"--

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Franciscan Wealth, Giacomo Todeschini provides a critical and objective study of Franciscan economic theory. As promoters of a rigorous and evangelical poverty, the Franciscans were paradoxically led to investigate all forms of the economic life between that of extreme poverty and that of excessive wealth, distinguishing carefully between property and temporary possession the use of economic goods.
Download or read book To Sin No More written by David Rex Galindo and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 2018-02-27 with total page 516 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For 300 years, Franciscans were at the forefront of the spread of Catholicism in the New World. In the late seventeenth century, Franciscans developed a far-reaching, systematic missionary program in Spain and the Americas. After founding the first college of propaganda fide in the Mexican city of Querétaro, the Franciscan Order established six additional colleges in New Spain, ten in South America, and twelve in Spain. From these colleges Franciscans proselytized Indians in frontier territories as well as Catholics in rural and urban areas in eighteenth-century Spain and Spanish America. To Sin No More is the first book to study these colleges, their missionaries, and their multifaceted, sweeping missionary programs. By focusing on the recruitment of non-Catholics to Catholicism as well as the deepening of religious fervor among Catholics, David Rex Galindo shows how the Franciscan colleges expanded and shaped popular Catholicism in the eighteenth-century Spanish Atlantic world. This book explores the motivations driving Franciscan friars, their lives inside the colleges, their training, and their ministry among Catholics, an often-overlooked duty that paralleled missionary deployments. Rex Galindo argues that Franciscan missionaries aimed to reform or "reawaken" Catholic parishioners just as much as they sought to convert non-Christian Indians.

Download or read book Seeing Differently written by Samuel Double and published by Canterbury Press. This book was released on 2021-01-29 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This timely book brings together the stories of St Francis – his preaching to birds, rejection of wealth, caring for lepers, befriending animals and living simply, his poetry and hymnody in praise of creation that is still sung today – and the influential writings and examples of inspiring Franciscans who have followed him such as Clare, Bonaventure, Duns Scotus and Angela of Foligno, and draws them into conversation with contemporary concerns for our planet. It gathers 800 years of accumulated wisdom and practical examples of how Franciscans have found ways to live at home and at peace with creation. It explores that long tradition and experience to ask what lessons can be drawn for today to challenge and enable readers to re-visit their own relationship with creation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the final document of the General Chapter of 2009, Bearers of the Gift of the Gospel, the chapter delegates stated clearly their intention that any document issuing from the Chapter should be a message that “inspires and animates the daily life of the brothers rather than a doctrinal document” (BGG, 2). They further declared that they wanted to place themselves and all of the friars “in the context of the life, needs, questions and challenges of our people” (BGG, 4). They reinforced this concern later in the document, when they stated: “The spirituality that nourishes our life and evangelizing mission is never foreign to the life of our peoples and what concerns them” (BGG, 30). One of the more serious concerns among the members of the Chapter relates to the “ethical use of financial resources in solidarity,” a theme that has come to the fore following the collapse of the global economic architecture beginning in 2008, and its lingering negative consequences in all regions of the world. Concerns regarding the ethical use of financial resources are found in Mandates 43, 54 and 55 of Bearers of the Gift of the Gospel. They reflect a much broader concern regarding economic activity and the role of ethics in promoting the common good, as has been repeatedly expressed by the Church in her Social Teaching. These same concerns were examined by the Union of Superiors General in 2002, in the document entitled Economy and Mission in the Consecrated Life Today. In 2011 the Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace, in its reflection on the world economy, Towards Reforming the International Financial and Monetary Systems in the Context of Global Public Authority, states that “The economic and financial crisis which the world is going through calls everyone, individuals and peoples, to examine in depth the principles and the cultural and moral values at the basis of social coexistence. What is more, the crisis engages private actors and competent public authorities on the national, regional and international level in serious reflection on both causes and solutions of a political, economic and technical nature.” And more recently, Pope Francis, in his Apostolic Exhortation, Evangelii gaudium (November 2013), states clearly that ethics and economy can no longer be divorced but must be united in their promotion of the common good (cf. num. 52-60, 203-207, et passim). The present document addresses all of these concerns, but it is a specific response to Mandate 54 of the General Chapter, which calls for “a program for Initial and Ongoing Formation that will educate the Entities of the Order on the theme of finances, paying particular attention to transparency, solidarity and ethics” (BGG, Mandate 54). The General Administration offers this document as a source of reflection and also as a challenge to all friars, to be used for both Ongoing and Initial Formation throughout the Order. My special thanks go to the Office of Justice, Peace and Integrity of Creation and to the General Treasurer for their essential contribution in its elaboration, along with the many friars and members of the General Definitorium who offered helpful suggestions and comments. We pray that this reflection will help us to live more faithfully our Franciscan commitment to the Gospel through an ethical use of resources in favor of the poor.
