i<3franciscans Posted October 27, 2011 Posted October 27, 2011 I was cleaning out a bunch of books at the nursing home I volunteer at and they said "Take anything you want" and.... I found [u]The Reform and Renewal[/u] by Fr. Groschel!!! I had never heard of it before, but now I am about half way though and it is wonderful! I am so happy.

[/quote] I have the book, [i]A Drama of Reform[/i] by the CFRs if you are interested in it. I could send it to you by Media Mail. Let me know if you would like it. I don't want it anymore since I'm not discerning with them, but it is a very nice book.
i<3franciscans Posted October 27, 2011 Posted October 27, 2011 Thanks so much for the offer MM, but not right now. I am really bogged with school/volunteering/work ect. and one more book [i]begging[/i] to be read just might drive me over the edge. Why busy life have to be so busy??? Sometimes I wish I was a Carmelite. No no no, I will always be Franciscan.

We weren't journeying to find something or someone; the Lord had already found us, and we were journeying for Him, not to Him. That made all our goings free and all our comings homecomings. No matter where we went, we had already arrived before we got started."[/i] - Brother Juniper

[/quote] Oooh! The Little Brothers of St. Francis are close to me too. Sometimes I see them on the subway. I could walk to their house if I really wanted to (although it'd be a long walk.) I keep trying to get people to discern with the Jamaica Plain Poor Clares, who are right around the corner from me, but to no avail as of yet. Alas. But if anyone wanted to discern with the Little Brothers of St Francis, that'd be okay too. Apparently I live in a hotbed of Franciscans.

OnlySunshine Posted October 31, 2011 Posted October 31, 2011 I'm telling you -- if I wasn't called to a different order by God -- I would enter the Franciscan Sisters of the Renewal with all the joy in my heart! I love them so very much! I was a little heartbroken when I discerned that God was calling me somewhere else, but I know that He knows better than I do what will make me truly happy. I love the CFRs so much and I refer those young women who feel called to religious life to look into them. They are amazing!
i<3franciscans Posted November 1, 2011 Posted November 1, 2011 I am going to a retreat on Saturday. Fr. Glenn is leading it. I can barely contain myself!!!

LaPetiteSoeur Posted December 3, 2011 Posted December 3, 2011 Still need to call Fr. B. Maybe this week, since I just have finals and no classes.

[/quote] Actually, the opposite is true. The Franciscan community is the biggest Religious order in the world, with over a million people involved in it. The Dominicans are third or fourth, and aren't near as popular.
