Vocations / Vocational Inquiries (Little Friars and Sisters V.V. of Jesus and Mary)

Group created by Poor Friars

We, the Little Friars and Sisters V.V. (Volantini Verdi = Green Fliers) of Jesus and Mary are a Religious Community of poor brothers and sisters...

Our charism, other than the contemplation, is that of sending souls to the Catholic Sacraments, through the Evangelization along the streets of the world, living with the spirit of the first Carmelites and the first Franciscans in total poverty and simplicity, without ever touching money (not that it be bad to touch it, given that also the Apostles had a safekeeping), but because like the first Apostles we don’t become distracted from the Prayer and the Preaching (Cf. Ac 6, 2-4).

This group hopes to be of service to anyone who seeks God's Will and in putting into practice His Word, who at 30%, who at 60%, yet in particular, especially those who desire to live it at 100% ! (cf. Mt 13,8).

All Vocational Inquiries are happily welcomed as we also have numerous Vocational Videos in helping one's discernment to the Vocation of becomming a Saint in the Eternaly Beatific and Glorious Immortality (All in the Holy perseverance) !.

    Peace and Good.. and like so in regards to equilibrium, our founder says that our example for Excellence is Christ Himself - the equilibrium of both Humanity and Divinity. Best wishes of Holiness, Friar Antonio

    Poor Friars
    Peace and Good "servant31",
    Humility...I too once suffered similar scruples years ago.. Asking advice from the founder of our community, he taught me this phrase of St. Therésè of Lesiex:
    "Holiness in a certain way is this: in accepting ones weaknesses with sweetness" (Story of a Soul).
    Are you a sinner?.. join the club.. Do bad thoughts come to you?.. they come even to Saints.. Does the devil tempt you?.. he tempted even Jesus. Remember that all Saints, once upon a time wern’t Saints, and if we want to pretend to be Saints already (not denying our will to become Saints), we will be suffering from a temptation of pride.
    Humility... When you happen to fall, Confess yourself with a priest, and get up again without tearing yourself to pieces - who are we to torture ourselves when God simply says... "I forgive you". If you fall again, Confess again. As a little child must take step by step to climb some stairs, they cannot even imagine to reach the top in one step...

    As for the discernment in your decisions,,, Friar Volantino our founder gave me this meditation of his years ago that helped me:
    St. Francis of Assisi (in a certain way) said to the Lord:
    << Most High Lord, what do you want from me ? >> (Supplication )
    << I will follow you in the joy and in the pain >> ( Promise )
    << But let me know me your Will >>.
    The Lord Answered him: << Francis go, and repair my House, that as you see is in ruin >>. ( Answer )

    So then St. Francis desired to do what he had understood in a vision, he interpreted it materially ( as when it was with the vision of the palace – Cf. F.S. 586 ) and then went to repair the stone Church of St. Damian, that was in ruin, without immediately understanding that the Church to be repaired was and is “ the hearts of the living people ” that Jesus Christ has purchased with his Blood ( Cf. F. F. 1334 ). But when one is Sincere with God, as after all that you’ve seen was St. Francis, surely he cannot be wrong ( at length ), since it’s written : << I’ll Be Sure in my Path, because I’ve looked again for your Will! >> (Ps 118, 45).

    Another example: Padre Pio, in a certain way, says that when an intention is straight forward, this intention be: a Holy Intention ! A little as it’s written: and that is: << to serve him without fear, in Holiness and Justice at his presence, for all of our days >>. (Lk1,74c-75). Then our soul should stay serene, if in order with what is written:
    << I’LL BE SURE IN MY PATH,BECAUSE I’VE LOOKED AGAIN FOR "YOUR WILL ">> ( Ps 118, 45 )

    (Friar Volantino in SLC pg.22)
    Best wishes of Holiness, from Friar Antonio

    Poor Friars
    Peace and Good and welcome to this new Group
    by the Little friars and sisters of Jesus and Mary !

    My name is Friar Antonio and am responsible for the Vocational inquiries in the English language to our community. To begin with, I wish to share with you all some VOCATIONAL VIDEOS that we have prepared. You will find a wealth of wisdom hidden under this photo.. all you need to do is click on the photo of the Friar and Sisters and you'll find a page of the website we use linked with several videos.

    Take a look at them and then leave your comments or questions, and
    we'll be more than to hear from you and answer your questions!

    So then, having said this, we wish you all the best in becoming Saints in the Beatific and Glorious Immortality ! Best wishes of Holiness, Friar Antonio
