“Remember that when you leave this earth you take nothing with you that you have received, only what you have given; a full heart, enriched by honest service, love, sacrifice and courage” – St Francis of Assisi
With the friars leading them in prayer: Fr. Richard-Jacob Forcier, OFM Conv. (Shrine Rector/Director), Br. Paschal Kolodziej, OFM Conv. (Shrine Staff Friar), and friar Joseph Krondon, OFM Conv. (student friar), the pilgrims of The Shrine of St. Anthony, in Ellicott City, MD who gathered in our chapel, with many of our friars of the Ellicott City friaries to celebrate the Transitus together in community, heard a beautiful reflection by Br. Douglas McMillan, OFM Conv. (friar in residence) [26:48 mark in video] on the life of our Seraphic Father, St. Francis of Assisi.
