I became a Catholic about a year ago and now feel that God is calling me to be a Franciscan. I need more time to grow in my faith and develop a prayer life, but please pray for me and my discernment. God bless you all!
Know it’s been a year since your post, but just wanted to let you know that I’ll pray for you nonetheless. May God shine His light upon your mind, so that you’ll be able to understand His Divine Will for you! God bless you abundantly! Praised be the Lord Jesus Christ! And blessed be His Most Holy Mother, Our Lady, Mary Immaculate. ✝️🇻🇦🤍🙏🏼
Pray to Mama Mary, so she can whisper to her Son to call your son Francis to this vocation. We have the community of saints in our Catholic Faith, how lucky we are to have those wonderful, blessed people to help us in our prayers.
Goodness, the Friar seems so harmonious, gentle, and challenging all at the same time. When the time comes, I pray that God calls me to serve as a Franciscan.
Recalling my past experience at a retreat when we had Eucharistic Celebration everyday. There was one priest who stood out ..just consumed my spirit with holiness, love and joy. Later on I asked which order was he from and he said "Capuchin". No wonder then... look at the life of them in this video. They have time to meditate on God everyday and they bring heaven to us. Praise God. Thanks for the video.
About 30 years ago, I was working for The Visiting Nurses in Santa Ynez and was assigned an elderly patient here. I only made two or three visits before he passed away, but I remember Brother Joe greeting me each time I arrived. He was so joyful and welcoming, that I have never forgotten him. When I stumbled upon this video and then went to the website and read that he is still at San Lorenzo, I was really delighted.
Hello; I live with Friars, in the Bronx, New York (St Anthony's Shelter for Renewal). It is a place of peace, learning and prayer. Every day, I can say that I learn something new about myself and about faith to God. I enjoyed this video ! I wish all of you God's blessings and mercy throughout this Christmas season. Shaun
This short brings back old memories when for a short while I lived at Marytown in Kenosha Wis now IL. I was considering becoming a Franciscan priest (Conv.). The friars were wonderful men, the food was great and plentiful in short I greatly enjoyed my stay there. Only one thing made me leave...girls! I love 'em. I left got married and eventually became a lay missionary with said order. My wife and I've been married for 30 years and we have a lot of kids and grandkids all of whom are good people. I don't think my wife and I did too badly. She was once considering becoming a nun. GOD bless and peace and all good things...
Good for you....you still did the best in vocation that God lead you & your wife to. Who knows one of those many children of yours will end up being called to religious life.
Peace & Good guys !, Our Seraphic Brother St Francis found 3 orders ; 1st the FRIARS ( OFM, OFMCONV, OFMCAP) . 2nd the NUNS ( ST CLARES ) 3th the SECULAR FRANCISCANS ( SFO ) So, you - STILL- as lay guys can be one of them !, just joing the FRANCISCAN FAMILY !!! you always welcome with joy and brotherhood ! 😄 Deus Meus Et Omnia !👍 Ave Maria IMMACULATE !🌹🌹🌹🙏
WONDERFUL!!!! LOVE IT!!!! Oh and my dear sweet Brother Joe in his walker!!! So many memories of when I was there for retreats!!! Love to all of you! My spiritual director is Fr. Harold Snider OFM CAP the provincial of the Western American Province.......GOD BLESS you ALL - I love you all and pray for you all...!!!
Love this video!! Good job Brothers. It was such a pleasure for my husband Glen and I to meet and dine with Brothers Vince and Edgar. Great food, great conversation. We wish you all of God's blessing in your spiritual journey.
So pleased to have "come across " this video. The utter serenity, sincerity and the dedication of those portrayed. Thank you for sharing. I will include you in my prayers. May God be with you all.
I'm a Capuchin very young and newly ordinaned Indian priest.My age is just 29 and I pray with truthful heart for all the broken and lonely people. And religious vocation really a precious gift of God. When I see this video really mesmerizing....... Praise the Lord ...
Thank you for the joy and sorrow you demonstrated. It made for a delightful end of a very boring and somewhat wasted. May God bless you with his peace, joy and strength of you vocation. May everyday of yours end in joy.
i was a friar for 6 years. the youngest of my novitiate class. there were 33 brothers when i lived here in San Lorenzo. i think about my time here everyday. if you thirst for the Lord, offer him your heart. He will not let you down.
many things to relate to...like waking up last.. n can see some fun moments too... and the brother eating while working, did you copy that from me too... pray for us brothers.. I'm your brother from east Africa. peace and all good.
@@reloadedman3309 That's your opinion. Fyi, this is the noviciate year where they spend the year living the spiritual life. After this they will go out to do other things working with people, studying, parish work etc. They wouldn't do it if it wasn't fulfilling.
The intro 🤣🤣🤣 i see my Capuchin monks at least once a week. Great men, powerhouses for Our Catholic faith. We have been fortunate enough to have Grey Friars also locally
De mic copil simțeam că părintele de sus,dumnezeu ma chemă să slujesc ... Dar am crescut si am luat o altă cale,rea,am picat de la fața lui dumnezeu bun,si milos. Imi este dord de el în fiecare zi ma gândesc dacă are să mă mai primească?? Slujiti lui dumnezeu din inima,căci lupta se din inima.. Har și îndurare din România.
Being a missionary is a great responsibility! The missionary must have great energy, fortitude, and courage. Wherever the missionary goes, no matter what part of the world he or she is in, he or she must spread the Word. Locals must understand what the missionary is telling them. The missionary must get the Word right! Therefore, every missionary must know the language of the local people! To everyone who is going on a mission or preparing for one, I would like to recommend a very good workshop by Yury Ivantsiv Polyglot Notes: Practical Tips for Learning Foreign Language. This wonderful book will give you answers how to properly learn a foreign language with a minimum of your time and effort. This book gives answers to many of the questions that everyone faces when learning a language. I wish you good luck in your important work!
Hi.I'm a new Catholic (10years) .I was just wondering what work do you do helping in the community?And do you keep the same routine everyday ?God Bless 🙏
I would love to know how to become a Franciscan friar anyone have any Ideas? I am 15 and I realise I might be too young but I would also know which age is appropriate to start the process
You can either start by reaching out to your local vocation's office, or you can just reach out to a community that you may like to visit on your own. Once you start talking with them they'll be able to answer your questions about age and how to enter.
Depending on where you're from( in America). You can look at these provinces for more information. Calvary Province:Detroit to Montana New England Province : New York and adjacent areas Stigmata Province: New Jersey, Wilmington and some areas in the south St. Conrad Province: Denver, Colorado St. Augustine Province: Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania Our Lady of Angels Province: California Hope that you get to fulfill your vocation and allow God to work in your life
It's quite a sight and experience if one steps into a church or chapel with the choir seating. These days we only see either facing forward to the altar or around it. But, facing each other to the left and right sides of the altar is mainly for thus kind of religious setting---don't know how to describe the experience--for prayers and eucharistic mass.
First you need to finish High School than have some college edu, than you will work with a vocation director concerning your vocation discernment. Let's see if God really has the calling for you.
Giovanni Amezquita Duran Here’s a piece of advice from someone who has been considering the Priesthood from age ten, now twenty, having tried four times to enter seminary. Start asking for help now. Make connections. Read a lot. Keep correspondence. I really wish I did this when I was your age. God bless you, man!
I always felt a call to the monastic way of life, but due to circumstances I regret that i never pursued it. Now it's too late for me. With such a daily routine these brothers live. I was wondering where they find time to bath or shower.
Thoroughly enjoyed this vid like many others which reveal the Religious call! Watched the Netflix Movie The two Popes, this day. Sir Anthony Hopkins plays a great role in fact his co star whom I've not known as an actor prior, plays Pope Francis brilliantly. Useful movie & again thoroughly enjoyable.
This years finally i decide to answer the calling God to enter the one of congregation aspirant and hope next years if God give me permit i will enter formation process as postulant.
I became a Catholic about a year ago and now feel that God is calling me to be a Franciscan. I need more time to grow in my faith and develop a prayer life, but please pray for me and my discernment. God bless you all!
Good luck to you Coleman and God bless you too!
I prayed the chaplet for you. Hope you find your path soon.
How has the last year been? Are you still on the journey of being a Franciscan?
❤
Know it’s been a year since your post, but just wanted to let you know that I’ll pray for you nonetheless. May God shine His light upon your mind, so that you’ll be able to understand His Divine Will for you! God bless you abundantly!
Praised be the Lord Jesus Christ! And blessed be His Most Holy Mother, Our Lady, Mary Immaculate.

My son Francis wants to become like you...please pray for him...he is 17 years
Pray to Mama Mary, so she can whisper to her Son to call your son Francis to this vocation. We have the community of saints in our Catholic Faith, how lucky we are to have those wonderful, blessed people to help us in our prayers.
under progress... God bless
Will do Peter ❤️
I hope he will become good priest😊
Francis the patron. Your son names is Francis what a beautiful name❤️🙏❤️
I look at this lifestyle and don't see your poverty. You have such incredible peace and all of God. You are richly blessed.
Goodness, the Friar seems so harmonious, gentle, and challenging all at the same time. When the time comes, I pray that God calls me to serve as a Franciscan.
I like this. A little bit of humor is the “oil” that makes the day go smoothly.

I am not saying other priests aren't anointed. Just sharing my encounter.
Just read St Padre PIO biography, another...CAPUCHINE ! 😄👍
I return to this video from time to time. It's very peaceful and calm

Here I am in the big city, living alone. This would have been my dream vocation. This video gives me peace at least to know others are living it.
God never ceases to stop calling brother. Follow your heart and let God's will work in you. Amen!
Drop what you are doing and join the religious order right now. God is calling you.

The Caps are a wonderful group of men, I miss praying and working with them
Our world is so blessed by these men, courageous and humble enough to take on a life of service for us all. Thank you Lord for these gifts.
I grew up in this area. So peaceful.
Thank you for the joy and sorrow you demonstrated. It made for a delightful end of a very boring and somewhat wasted. May God bless you with his peace, joy and strength of you vocation. May everyday of yours end in joy.
