| Pledging fidelity to Pope John Paul II |
|
We cannot speak of fidelity to the Holy Church of God without speaking of our deep love and devotion to Mary, the most holy Mother of God and Queen of Peace, who is that most excellent Icon of the Church herself. We consecrate ourselves to her maternal care, venerate her sacred Image in our friary chapel and in each of our rooms, and implore her help and protection at every Divine Office. May she guide all of us to her Divine Son!
At the beginning of this Third Christian Millennium, we are committed to the New Evangelization proclaimed by our Holy Father of blessed memory, Pope John Paul the Great, to take advantage of this “springtime” for the Church and the unprecedented opportunity we have in the modern age to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Our life as Brothers and our apostolate to the poor and vulnerable is intended to give a tangible, visible witness to Christ and His Church. May Jesus Christ be praised, now and forever!
