PRAYER FOR THE 10TH ORDINARY CHAPTER
Most High and Loving God, You have called us to walk in the footsteps of Christ, following the example of St Francis of Assisi, living as brothers in simplicity and love.
Bless our Custody as a place of true formation, where hearts are shaped by prayer, service, and fraternity. Holy Spirit, guide and direct our 10th Ordinary Chapter, fill our deliberations with wisdom and peace.
Help us to listen with open hearts, discern Your will with clarity, and commit ourselves anew to our Capuchin vocation.
Mary, our Mother, and St. Francis, our Father, watch over us, your sons. May we grow in holiness and unity, becoming signs of Christ’s love to the world, for the glory of God and the good of all. Amen.
St. Francis and St. Clare, pray for us!

We too ought to be loving servants of the divine master, and from time to time, we hear his voice in various ways, and through different means his voices echoes in our hearts, in and through our fellow loving brothers and sisters, as well as in and through those placed as authorities over us. These are instruments of his kindness and love.

Support Us
Francis of Assisi assured his brothers that they will never lack, provided they live the life faithfully: "People will surely provide for your needs." Down the centuries, the Franciscan Order has survived on the charity of people.
Being a mendicant Order, we rely on divine providence for sustenance, that means, we beg for food and financial support from the faithful. We need your help and as the Lord said: "He who gives a prophet a cup of water because he is a prophet will have the prophet's reward."
We also need your help to promote our apostolate which are largely non-profit oriented. As you help us in any way, no matter how little, to carry on with our life of witnessing to the Gospel, we assure you of our prayers and implore God's blessings on you.
