Pray for Br Matt on his profession day! -Led by the Lord, let them begin a life of penance, conscious that all of us must be continuously and totally converted to the Lord. - TOR Rule #FriarLife #obediencepovertychastity

RIGHT NOW! If you want to join the video chat session or Evening Prayer, there is still time. #TORfriars #Discernment

Catholic, single men. Discern religious life from home this Saturday with the TORs. facebook.com/franciscanfria… #discernment #TORfriars

Praise God for three of our friars in formation being instituted as acolytes by our Minister Provincial, Fr. Joe! An acolyte is one of the remaining "minor orders" of the church, making these men "ordinary" ministers in serving the Mass. #Catholic #TORLife

"I think every parish should have, for the next 10 years, round-the-clock Eucharistic adoration, during which good people pray for the return of the unaffiliated." —@BishopBarron

Five TOR Franciscan Friars of the Province of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, were ordained to the diaconate by Bishop Jeffrey M. Monforton, on September 14, on the campus of Franciscan University of Steubenville. These men assisted at the various Masses on the following Sunday!

Preparing for diaconate, I have begun to realize this is not about me, it is about being called to a deeper imitation of Christ and a transformation into the image of Christ. This is going to be both a challenge and a source of true and lasting joy. – Br. Matthew #fustordeacons

Being ordained doesn't mean a "step up," but rather an opportunity to lay down... at the foot of the cross... I look around at all these people who have served me in so many ways throughout my life. Now I get to serve them at the altar. How awesome is that? -Br. Zack Burns, TOR

When the feelings fall away, that's where I think that love is it's best, where it's chosen for itself. Not for anything I get out of it, but for what I can give. -Br. Stephen Mary Waruszewski, TOR See the rest here. vimeo.com/358649907
