LETTER FOR THE EIGHTH CENTENARY OF THE FOUNDATION OF THE

ORDER OF THE POOR SISTERS OF SAINT CLARE

( From the Ministers of the Franciscan Family)

350th anniversary of the birth of Saint Veronica Giuliani

Year of the Faith

Above all guard for me this great deposit of faith for which I live and fight, which I want to take with me as a companion, and which makes me bear all evils and despise all pleasures: I mean the profession of faith in the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. I entrust it to you today. By it I am soon going to plunge you into water and raise you up from it. I give it to you as the companion and patron of your whole life. I give you but one divinity and power, existing one in three, and containing the three in a distinct way. Divinity without disparity of substance or nature, without superior degree that raises up or inferior degree that casts down. . . the infinite co-naturality of three infinites. Each person considered in himself is entirely God. . . the three considered together. . . I have not even begun to think of unity when the Trinity bathes me in its splendour. I have not even begun to think of the Trinity when unity grasps me. .(St. Gregory of Nazianzus)

MONASTERIES

O God our Father,

in Jesus you call all Christian families and homes to be signs of living faith.

By the light of the Holy Spirit,

lead us to be thankful for the gift of faith,

and by that gift may we grow in our relationship with Jesus, your Son,

and be confident witnesses to Christian hope and joy

to all we meet.

In the name of Jesus Christ our Lord.

Amen.
