Living and being in Fraternity toady
Fraternity
has a special role in the Franciscan order, because it is the privilege place
for developing a sense of church and the Franciscan vocation and for enlivening
the apostolic life of its members. Fraternity is where all members meet,
organize efforts, pray, and socialize with each other. Fraternity being one of
the pillars of Franciscan Spirituality strengthens the journey of like minded
individual who are all called to connect with each other as members of the
Franciscan Family.
Fraternity brings to the church and
the world a particular spirit that manifests itself in the life of the church
and in all areas of human life. Although we are of the world, we do not live by
its non-gospel values, attitude and policies. Of all the different fraternity
levels, the local level is particularly significant in that it is at this level
where the majority of Franciscan life takes place. The local fraternity is
where the most basic experience of Franciscan spirit is found. All level
of
Fraternity
is important, but the local fraternity is the foundation for all other levels.
