Third Order RegularThe Sisters and Brothers of the Third Order Regular of Saint Francis (Part 2)

Elements of the Charism

The Franciscan charism is always and everywhere unbounded. In Francis' own words, "The world is ourcloister." With Christ, Firstborn of all Creation, nothing in creation is untouched by the Spirit of the Lord. Franciscans seek toproclaim the fundamental Goodness of God in all of life and creation. All of life and creation is a gift from God.

Grasped by Jesus Christ, Franciscan follow a gospel form of life. We minister more by example than by words. In all formsof service, we reverence the person and seek to enhance the quality of relationships. The call to inculturate the gospel isat the heart of the Franciscan charism. Nurtured by our contemplative stance before God and the world, the sisters and

brothers are called to be peacemakers' wherever they are.More articles to appear in future bulletins.

The Story Behind the Peace Prayer of St. Francis

The Peace Prayer of St. Francis is a famous prayer which first appeared aroundthe year 1915 A.D., and which embodies the spirit of St. Francis of Assisi'ssimplicity and poverty.

According to Father Kajetan Esser, OFM, the author of the critical edition of St.Francis's Writings, the Peace prayer of St. Francis is most certainly not one of thewritings of St. Francis. This prayer, according to Father Schulz, Das sogennanteFranziskusgebet. Forshungen zur evangelishen Gebetslitteratur (III), in Jahrbuch fur Liturgik undHymnologic, 13 (1968), pp. 39-53, first appeared during the First World War. It was found written onthe observe of a holy card of St. Francis, which was found in a Normal Almanac. The prayer bore noname; but in the English speaking world, on account of this holy card, it came to be called the PeacePrayer of St. Francis. The Peace Prayer of St. Francis

Where there is hatred,Let me sow love;Where there is injury, pardon;

Where there is error, truth;Where there is doubt, Faith;

Where there is despair, hope;Where there is darkness, light;

And where there is sadness, Joy.

O, Divine Master grant that I may not somuch seek to be consoled

As to console;To be understood, as to understand;

To be loved, as to love.For it is in giving that we receive,

It is in pardoning that we are pardoned,And it is in dying that we are born to

eternal life.

Franciscan Renewal Center - Faith in Action 4

A Message from the Director

The Faith in Action Ministry has great

news to report. Our economicdevelopment project with theApaches at San Carlos and

Whiteriver was awarded a grantfrom the Catholic Campaign for HumanDevelopment-local office. This department of

the United States Conference of CatholicBishops funds community organizing and

economic development projects. The ApacheFair Trade Crafting Co-op (AFTCO) wasawarded $5,000 to carry out a feasibility study

and write a business plan in order to grow thefair-trade business and put it more directly inthe hands of Apaches. Doing the feasibility

study and writing the business plan areimportant steps as it sets forth the strategic planfor this economic venture.

In addition a lawyer has been working pro-

bono for us to draw up the papers so they canfile as a separate non-profit organization. Up tothis time AFTCO has been working under the

guidance of the missions at San Carlos andWhiteriver and the FRC. Getting their own 501(c)3 status allows the group to apply for other

grants. All who are involved in this project feel

blessed by God for the wondrous things thathave happened over the last 2 years. Pleasekeep this venture in your prayers.

You can still bring in yourBackpacks for Foster Care

and Haitian Children

Last year, the Casa

community collected 125

backpacks for the childrenin the foster care system. Catholic Charities is

asking for our help again. Not everyone can

take in a foster child. But each of us can

support foster care children by supporting the

families that take care of them.

Just recently, weve been asked to help the

orphanage in Haiti. They are needing 125

backpacks.

Our first commitment to the Foster Care

Children is for 125 backpacks. If we reachthat goal, we can then continue to collect

and try to reach the goal of 125 for the Haiti

orphans.

Can we do this, Casa community?

Please help our foster care families and theorphans of Haiti. Bring a smile to a childs

face by providing backpacks and needed

school supplies!

Bring your backpack and school supplies to

the front desk of the Casa during any openhours.

A Journey into the Gospel Invitation to be a People of Compassion

We are called to be compassionate as our God is compassionate. (Luke 6:36)

What does the compassion of Christ look like in the modern world? How do I become a morecompassionate person?

The JustFaith program is an intensive thirty-week program that helps to answer these questionsthrough reflection, study, prayer and community.

When was the last time you had an experience that was soul satisfying?

If you are looking to encounter your faith in a way that challenges you and how you are to live as aChristian in todays world, then JustFaith may be the program for you.

The program will run September through May.

For more information and if you have not yet indicated your interest in this process, please callPatti Sills-Trausch at 480-948-7450 x 130 or email me at [email protected].
