Franciscan Spirituality #2: Intro part 2 - Feb 03 - Homily - Fr Terrance

Fr Terrance gives the homily at Bloomington, IN on Feb 03, 2023, on how Franciscan Spirituality is a subset of Catholic spirituality that is focused on becoming like Christ. Notes: Since Christ is so great and rich, there are many approaches. 1 Cor 1 24 - https://bible.usccb.org/bible/1corint... Not just a covering Holiness is not a hand out but Catholic spirituality is comprised of Schools with Spiritual masters who have eyes on Jesus the model as an artist on his model Try to sculpt the image of Jesus, first in their own souls. Saints are like the light sent through a prism producing different colors, same light but different positive effects in each person Different schools Franciscan is seraphic, so seraphic school Seraphic means those who burn with God's love. Isaiah 6 - https://bible.usccb.org/bible/isaiah/6 Christ in the form of a Seraph angel gave hi the stigmata on La Verna made him image of Christ - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_Verna differences in spirituality are accents, different approaches within Catholic faith Eph 3 8 - the inscrutable riches of Christ- https://bible.usccb.org/bible/ephesia... Romans 8: 29 conformity to God - https://bible.usccb.org/bible/romans/... Again Grace and Free will, requires collaboration on our part. If not Goal is to become like Christ in a particular "school" Ask Mary to make us more teachable in this school.
