SS Paulo VI
The third Franciscan order is celebrating today August 6, the feast of Pope Saint Paul VI, from loving memory; Our great recognition and eternal gratitude, for that treasure that he gave us, which is our current rule for the Secular Franciscan order.
A pontiff who in the person of its Prime Minister General of the OFS Manuela Mattioli OFS; I would leave these words for the secular Franciscans: "tell the tertiaries that the pope loves them."
For this reason, we believe that his whole spirit was seraphic, since he lived on this earth. That is why I call Saint Francis of Assisi Seraphic Patriarch.
He left us some memorable words for Secular Franciscans:
"that the charism of our order, for the good of the church and of human society, still retains its vigor in our time, when so many opinions circulate quietly, so many tendencies are fueled, that turn away the spirits of God, and of the higher realities. "
On a day like today in 1978 we celebrate his return to the father's house "
