Mission
From the CFC Rule of Life:
As followers of Christ, “Who humbled himself, even to accepting death” (Philippians 2:8), we strive to live our lives in minority and simplicity, “as the servants and subjects of all, peaceful and humble in heart” (Cf. Regula non bullata, 16:6).
We seek as a Community to engage in God’s Mission through the Five Marks of Mission recognized by the Anglican Communion. These marks are:
1. To proclaim the Good News of the Kingdom
2. To teach, baptize and nurture new believers
3. To respond to human need by loving service
4. To transform unjust structures of society, to challenge violence of every kind and to pursue peace and reconciliation
5. To strive to safeguard the integrity of creation and sustain and renew the life of the earth.
Justice, Peace and Integrity of Creation
Br Luis participates at “Franciscan Common Ground” conference with other members of the Franciscan family in New York City.
“We identify with the voiceless and marginalized of our societies, knowing that Christ is with them. We aim to share our time, talent, and treasure with the hungry, poor, and those who God sends us to serve, live with, and love. A key component of our vocation is the process of reflection and reconciliation. (…)
In the Canticle of the Creatures, Francis called all things in Creation his brother and sister. In his legacy we seek to live sustainably and actively care for God's Creation. We will also seek to act as advocates for peace, justice and the care of creation through education and modeling sustainable stewardship of God's Good Earth.”
