Deep listening is capable of overcoming the differences and polarizations of our time and is at the basis of our vocation. We were \u201ccalled\u201d and we listened. We accepted to be a word and a gift for others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The full message can be read from: <a href=\"https:\/\/ofm.org\/uploads\/LetteraSanFrancesco2023%20EN.pdf\">https:\/\/ofm.org\/uploads\/LetteraSanFrancesco2023%20EN.pdf<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On the occasion of the feast of St Francis of Assisi our Minister General, Br Massimo Fusarelli ofm, exhorted us friars to welcome the spirit&hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3078,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[66,59],"class_list":["post-3077","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-ahbarijiet","tag-massimo-fusarelli","tag-ofm"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ofm.mt\/ofmmt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/2023-10-05_feature.webp?fit=1559%2C877&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/paH0LY-ND","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ofm.mt\/ofmmt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3077","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ofm.mt\/ofmmt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ofm.mt\/ofmmt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ofm.mt\/ofmmt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ofm.mt\/ofmmt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3077"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/ofm.mt\/ofmmt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3077\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3079,"href":"https:\/\/ofm.mt\/ofmmt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3077\/revisions\/3079"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ofm.mt\/ofmmt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3078"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ofm.mt\/ofmmt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3077"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ofm.mt\/ofmmt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3077"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ofm.mt\/ofmmt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3077"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
