How is God calling you to seek out experiences of “mission in community” in your life?
There are many stories of Franciscan saints being sent out to discover Christ in new ways and forge relationships with new neighbors. Their adventures were always marked by a profound sense of joy and community. The fifth episode of “Hold Back Nothing” reflects on the Eucharistic call to go forth to serve our brothers and sisters with a sense of joyful mission and in the spirit of love and acceptance.
Join Br. Colin King, currently serving in the Franciscans’ mission in Jamaica, as he shares the joys and the challenges of his ministry. Both he and Br. Tyler Harris, who spent nine months in Jamaica, reflect on the Franciscan tradition of missionary activity. Fueled by the Eucharist and their love of Christ, friars leave behind what is comfortable and secure, making themselves vulnerable and embracing encounters with others, bringing God’s love to them with humility and joy.
