Join us on this episode as we explore the Communities of Jesus and Francis. When Jesus began his public ministry, he chose a group of brothers and sisters who became the nucleus of his Church. Francis also attracted others to himself as soon as he began to live a life of total dedication to the love of Jesus. Like Jesus, he found brothers and sisters who wanted to walk with him in the Gospel way. We discuss the joys and struggles of living in a community and how it is an essential part of our human nature. We delve into the responsibility of being part of a community and how it is our obligation as tertiaries. Join us as we explore how community building is a risk, but it is also a way of joy because it is compatible with our God-given vocation to make our world a better place.
This episode is a reading of Chapter 13 – Obedience: The Local Community from the book “Forming The Life Of A Franciscan” which you can download by clicking here.
The chapter is read by Masud Ibn Syedullah, TSSF.
