Mary, Holding the Franciscans Together – Dec 15 – Homily – Fr Matthias

 

Fr Matthias gives the homily at Bloomington, IN, on Dec 15, 2022, on how the feast of Our Lady Queen of the Seraphic (Franciscan) Order points to the unity of the Franciscans in the face of many differences of opinion on how to follow the poverty of St. Francis. This poverty is primarily Christo-centric, points to Christ, and thus must be entered through Mary as well. This Marian way is the key to friars becoming holy and then rebuilding the Church by spreading this holiness through all its members.

Ave Maria!
