www.capuchinfranciscans.org - Our brother Francis followed a calling that changed his life and the lives of others. Have you heard that same call? Learn more: www.capuchinfranciscans.org/on...
Start your Franciscan journey today with the Midwest Capuchin Franciscans!
As the son of a clothing merchant, Francis’ story of conversion is filled with events of prayer, struggle, and trust in God. Would you like to visit one of our ministries? Perhaps you’d like to stop by our formation house and have dinner with the friars? Maybe you’d just like to have a friendly phone conversation. We recognize that every vocational journey is different, and the information you provide helps us to better respond to your unique situation. One of our vocation directors will respond to your form as soon as possible.
“If the idea of a vocation fills you with uneasiness, unworthiness, or even fear…then you are already following in the footsteps of St. Francis.”

Brother MJ. Was so moved by your testimony. Prayed for you and this is the scripture the Lord laid on my heart for you: "Therefore I say to you, her sins, which are many, are forgiven, for she loved much. But to whom little is forgiven, the same loves little.” Then He said to her, “Your sins are forgiven.” Luke 7:47‭-‬48 NKJV Your radical love, faith and humility stem from having been forgiven so much. Keep up the good work ❤

Bro MJ, I really enjoy watching your video daily. It always brings a new meaning and the ability to serve God. I like how you minister to the poor. God is working in you each and every moment of the day. I like how the Sister is there for you when you need help in your studies. I know you will become a Great Priest when that day comes. I pray for you and God keep you safe in his arms, you are one of his children who has so much inspiration and devotion to your ministry and the Order of Capuchin Franciscans. Please pray for me that God will send me a healing of Spinal Stenosis and Osteoarthritis so that I may sit, stand, kneel in church, Genuflect to the Blessed Sacrament without being in pain. You also have Amazing parents who really support you in all you do. Thank you Bro. MJ. God Bless.

My prayers healing as I write this are with you Father. Thank you for saying yes to your calling to the priesthood. Saint John Vianney pray for you and our Lady Queen of the clergy cover you with her mantle of protection and Saint Michael the Archangel forever be at your side along with your Guardian Angel.

5/22/19 Bro MJ, Saw Bro Casey Coles new video today of another brother getting ordained as a Deacon and saw you up at the Alter with the Bishop in a Dalmac and It made me so Happy to see you made it to Deacon Bro. Soon your dream of becoming a Priest will come True. God Bless you in your ministry and the beautiful work your doing. I look forward to the day you make the announcement of when your going to be Ordained.

Love the video, very inspiring (though I think that Friars should consider it their job to 'solve the problem' of poverty... you'd see how quickly their faith would be tested when the powers that be come down like a hammer upon those that would dare to question their right to exploit others).

4/27/19 9:10pm Brother MJ. Would you be able to find out what the name of the music is in your video that starts playing when your parents start to walk out to the vestibule/Narthex/ after mass is over with. I just love that song. Tried to play it here and cannot quite get the melody right. Thank you so much Bro.

Where is the Novitiate these days? In my day it was going to be a joint Novitiate between Central Canada, the Midwest and New York. As an aside, Br. Perry looks good after all these years

The advice I've heard most often given to young people who feel a calling is the following: finish high school, go to university and learn something you love (theology? philosophy?), discern while you go.

@thesaltycatholic318 4 жыл бұрын

That's awesome, Giovanni, and I'm sure they could use someone like you being out there living for Christ! Remember: the life of a Franciscan Friar should happen even before joining! Live like them even before you join, and you will find you will be right at home with them when you are able to be one of them! God bless you buddy!
