It is truly a blessed occasion that the Order of Friars Minor is celebrating its 6th Under Ten Chapter in Assisi. This gathering offers a precious opportunity to share our fraternal joy, to listen to one another and to grow together through reflection and dialogue.
I feel deeply blessed to participate in this Chapter on behalf of the Franciscan Maltese Province of St. Paul the Apostle. I am also sincerely grateful to this Province for their openness and commitment to international collaboration and shared mission in choosing me, currently a missionary in Malta to participate and experience the richness of our universal Franciscan brotherhood and to strengthen our shared commitment to living the Gospel in the spirit of Saint Francis.
