General Minister Tibor Kauser, OFS, is echoing Pope Francis's call for prayers for peace in Ukraine. "I invite you dear brothers and sisters, to strengthen our unity with each other, with the whole Franciscan family and with the Catholic Church by joining the prayer of Pope Francis for peace on Ash Wednesday," he said.
God has a message. God had a message for the Holy Virgin Mary, as he had a message for St. Francis. He has a message for each one of us...
“How silently, how silently the wondrous gift is given!”-- These words came to mind as I read the beautiful Christmas letter sent to us today from our brother and General Minister, Tibor Kauser.
