Ave Maria! Fr. Gabriele M. Pellettieri visits Perth, Australia, and speaks with the “MIM” or “Mission of the Immaculate Mediatrix”, a group of lay people following the spirituality of the Franciscans of the Immaculate. +++ |
Ave Maria! On December 15th, Feast of Our Lady Queen of the Seraphic Order, six young men were clothed (or “invested”) in the habit of St. Francis at our friary in New York. The rough, cruciform tunic is an outward expression of the form of life they desire to follow: that of Jesus Christ, poor, humble and crucified. The color grey (unbeknownst to many) is the original color worn by the sons of St. Francis. The blue tint of the fabric expresses their desire to live as the possession and property of Our Lady, battling for the salvation of souls beneath her Blue Mantle. Ave Maria! Fr. Gabriele’s homily from the Mass immediately preceding this video is available here.

Also, it is fitting that after this Mass, there were 6 postulants who were clothed in the habit, answering the call of Jesus to Sts. John and Andrew, “Come and See.” Please keep the new postulants in your prayers. Mass: Our Lady Queen of the Seraphic Order – Comm – Form: EF, Egredimini Et Readings: +++ |
Homily #111213m ( Ave Maria! Fr. Gabriele Pellettieri reflects over the “treasure” of the religious vocation. This call from Jesus is a cause of great joy, but we must keep our focus on this great treasure by daily conforming ourselves anew to Jesus Crucified with love and joy. For, as the Gospel reading tells us, to purchase this treasure, we must give up all things. Mass: St. Lucy, Virgin and Martyr – 3rd Cl – Form: EF, Dilexisti +++ |
