In the Spirit of St. Francis

September 12, 2024: This morning’s Mass was celebrated in the Borromeum Chapel with prayers and music from the Indian Sisters. At 9 am, the capitulars returned to the Chapter Hall behind closed doors where they continued their discussions regarding the election.

A few Sisters, who are not participating in the Chapter, visited St. Mary’s Girls’ grammar school in Muenster where they talked about their religious life and answered questions from the students. Fortunately, one of the students spoke Vietnamese and was able to translate to her fellow German students.

We then had a wonderful lunch and took a boat across Lake AA to the nearby Zoo, on what was a beautiful day, and Father Michael joined us. Spending the afternoon in nature and with many animals was a reminder to us of our founder, St. Francis of Assisi, and his love of all God’s creatures – big and small.

The following video gives some impressions of today.
