Franciscan Values

In recent years, I have tried to figure out what my purpose is. The motive for my life has been lost, I need spiritual guidance. As I regretted in the past, it brings emptiness inside. By going back one step and letting me lead the Lord, my life finally has its purpose, direction and values. These values ​​are the second nature of breathing, but I never see them as something I have to do. They are something I want to do. The value of the most important Franciscan society for me is to express compassion for others by serving and caring for the poor and oppressed people.

In the past semester, VUSM 101 taught me a lot of value through service leadership. These values ​​include Franciscan values, Viterbo's values, servant's leadership, and my own personal values. This class also teaches me that they have their own values ​​that make everyone different. These values ​​also affect human gifts. - Values ​​of life are very important to my life. I think value is important to me. Economic value varies from person to person. Not everyone wants the same way of life. Some people dream of having expensive cars, spacious houses, and a lot of wealth. Some people seek a simple life without being influenced by physical cargo. Our values ​​influence the way we make money, how to consume, how to save, how to invest, how to invest.

St. Anthony is a Franciscan monk of the 13th century, a missionary and a miracle worker. His birth date is Franciscan Thaumaturgust. When Franciscan Thaumaturgust became a monk of Franciscan, he was given the name of Anthony. St. Anthony was born nearly 800 years ago and was born in Lisbon, Portugal in 1195. St. Anthony is faithful to his church and loves God deeply. His understanding of the Bible and insight is incredible. According to Nugent, he was summoned on the day of "heathen nail" and "will box". (Newgent XIV)

In the Franciscan assembly itself and his festival etiquette, St. Anthony was welcomed as a teacher and extraordinary missionary. He was the first teacher of the Franciscan society and received special approval and blessings from St. Francis to lead his brother Franciscan. His role as a missionary in calling people to return to faith has brought the title "pagan prisoners". Equally important is his peacemaking and harsh justice. In 1232, Pope Gregory IX worshiped Anthony as "Bible" and "Bible knowledge base". This is the reason why St. Anthony is often portrayed as the burning light or scripture of the Bible. In the hands. In 1946, Pope Pius XII officially announced that Anthony is a Ph.D. in a universal church. This is a sincere effort to understand and apply it to Anthony's God's Word and apply it to everyday life, the church especially wants to imitate St. Anthony.
