In the chapters XIV to XVII of the Earlier Rule we can see\nquotations he makes from the Gospel, in which Jesus sends out his disciples\n(see Mt 10:1-42; Lk 9:1-6; 10:1- 20, Mk 6:7-13). Living, witnessing and\npreaching the Gospel for Francis should always be done in minority, poverty,\nhumility and submission to the Church, keeping nothing for himself, giving\neverything back to the Lord (see VAIANI. C. <em>History and Theology of the\nSpiritual Experience of Francis of Assisi<\/em>, p.131). Moreover, when the brothers\nthat God himself had given him arrived (cf. Test 14), Francis began a life of\nfraternity which to this day is the highest expression of the Franciscan\ncharism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Recently, the PCO\n2018 took up the concept of contemplative fraternity (cf. Those Who Have Ears,\nLet Them Listen to What the <em>Spirit<\/em> is Saying\u2026 to the <em>Friars Minor<\/em>\nToday, 92-105) and made specific proposals on living and implementing our form\nof life where we are, open to international fraternities (cf. Idem, 140-148).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Together with this\nappeal of the Order, we all feel challenged by the Apostolic Exhortation of\nPope Francis, Evangelii Gaudium with the statement that \u201c<em>All of them have a\nright to receive the Gospel<\/em>\u201d and \u201c<em>Christians have the duty to proclaim\nthe Gospel without excluding anyone<\/em>\u201d (EG 15) and with the quotation of Jesus\u2019s\nmissionary mandate the foundation of evangelization: \u201c<em>Go therefore and make\ndisciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the\nSon and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded\nyou<\/em>\u201d(EG 19).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is good to\nremember that St. Francis himself sent his friars out \u201ctwo by two\u201d recommending\nthat they announce peace and penance (cf. 1Cel 29). This confirms the\nmissionary dimension of our charism that urges us to go forth towards our\nbrothers and sisters of the whole world, coming to them in a unique way,\npreaching with our form of life and action in favour of reconciliation, peace,\njustice and respect for creation (cf. GGCC 1:2). This challenges us today more\nthan ever in the context of the climate crisis and the migratory crisis in\nwhich we live, and the Church invites us not to be indifferent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pope Francis recently\nlooked at the Church in the international Amazon and convened the Amazon Synod\nwith the theme: \u201c<em>The Amazon: New Paths for the Church and for Integral\nEcology<\/em>\u201d. In the preparatory document of the Synod we read that \u201c<em>The\nAmazon is a region with rich biodiversity; it is multi-ethnic, multi-cultural,\nand multi-religious; it is a mirror of all humanity which, in defence of life,\nrequires structural and personal changes by all human beings, by nations, and\nby the Church.<\/em>\u201d We must also remember here that there are about 32 million\ninhabitants in the Pan-Amazonian region (in the 9 countries that have Amazonian\nforests) and among them, there are approximately 3 million indigenous people\nwho form about 390 different peoples and nationalities. These indigenous people\nwere born and raised in harmony with the forest and have maintained this\nbalance for thousands of years. \u201c<em>But life in the Amazon is threatened by\nenvironmental destruction and exploitation and by the systematic violation of\nthe basic human rights of the Amazon population<\/em>\u201d (Instrumentum Laboris,\n14).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We Franciscans are called\nto accompany this Synod with great attention which asks us to hear the cry that\ngoes forth from the Amazon (see Instrumentum Laboris, 45-46). We want to recall\nhere the data obtained from the Synod Preparatory Document: \u201c<em>The Amazon\nBasin encompasses one of our planet\u2019s largest reserves of biodiversity (30 to\n50% of the world\u2019s flora and fauna) and freshwater (20% of the world\u2019s freshwater).\nIt constitutes more than a third of the planet\u2019s primary forests and \u2013 although\nthe oceans are the largest carbon sinks \u2013 the Amazon\u2019s work of carbon\nsequestration is quite significant. It covers more than seven and a half\nmillion square kilometres, and 9 countries share this great Biome (Brazil,\nBolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, Guyana, Peru, Suriname, Venezuela, including French\nGuyana as an overseas territory)<\/em>\u201d. We are called together with the Church to\nenter into a process of personal and community ecological conversion, requested\nby Pope Francis in the Encyclical Laudato Si\u2019 (LS 216-221), \u201c<em>allowing the\npower and the light of the grace we have received also be evident in our\nrelationship to other creatures and to the world around us. In this way, we\nwill help nurture that sublime fraternity with all creation which Saint Francis\nof Assisi so radiantly embodied<\/em>.\u201d (LS 221).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The\necclesiological dimension of missionary evangelization, which is proper to our\nidentity as followers of the Risen Jesus Christ and of St. Francis of Assisi,\nrequires us to expand our vision on the participation of the laity in all\naspects of the life of the Church. As Pope Francis reminds us, the laity are\nnot only assistants of those considered to be the \u201cfirst\u201d or \u201cprivileged\u201d class\nof evangelisers. All members of the Church share the same responsibilities in\nliving and proclaiming the Gospel. Therefore, a radical rethinking of how we\norganize all aspects of evangelization is necessary, and how we work in\ninformation and formation for a spirituality of integral ecology.\nEvangelization and human and environmental promotion represent two sides of the\nsame coin: \u201clove of God and love of neighbour\u201d. Doing this we must combine our\nefforts with those of the Amazon area and with all others who live in similar\nconditions, as a way of embodying the message of St. Francis of Assisi in our\nlife and the life of the Church and today\u2019s world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"931\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ofmjpic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/WhatsApp-Image-2019-09-21-at-18.09.01-1-1024x931.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4908\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ofmjpic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/WhatsApp-Image-2019-09-21-at-18.09.01-1-1024x931.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/ofmjpic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/WhatsApp-Image-2019-09-21-at-18.09.01-1-300x273.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/ofmjpic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/WhatsApp-Image-2019-09-21-at-18.09.01-1-768x698.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/ofmjpic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/WhatsApp-Image-2019-09-21-at-18.09.01-1-610x555.jpeg 610w, https:\/\/ofmjpic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/WhatsApp-Image-2019-09-21-at-18.09.01-1-1080x982.jpeg 1080w, https:\/\/ofmjpic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/WhatsApp-Image-2019-09-21-at-18.09.01-1.jpeg 1345w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In truth, St. Francis lived\nan integral ecology, even though this terminology was not used in the Middle\nAges. Pope Francis speaks of integral ecology incorporating the human and\nsocial dimensions: \u201c<em>environmental, economic and social ecology<\/em>\u201d (LS\n138-142), \u201c<em>cultural ecology<\/em>\u201d (LS 143-146) and \u201c<em>ecology of daily life<\/em>\u201d\n(LS 147- 155). And then he relates integral ecology to the \u201c<em>common good<\/em>\u201d\n(LS 156-158) which requires a responsible ethic to respect the elementary and\ninalienable rights of all people with \u201c<em>a summons to solidarity and a\npreferential option for the poorest of our brothers and sisters<\/em>\u201d (LS\n158-162). St. Francis\u2019s way of life, becoming a brother to the lepers, the\npoor, to creatures, to the men and women of his time, enabled him to live in an\nintegrated manner in fraternity and in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The call of the\nAmazonian peoples directly affects actions related to ecology. However, we must\nall remember that \u201c<em>in order to promote integral ecology in the daily life of\nthe Amazon, it is also necessary to understand the notion of intergenerational\ncommunication and justice, which includes the transmission of ancestral\nexperience, cosmologies, spiritualities and theologies of the indigenous\npeoples in terms of care for our common home<\/em>.\u201d(Instrumentum Laboris, 50).\nThe responsibility for our \u201ccommon home\u201d must be based on love for future\ngenerations and should \u201c<em>be a distinctive way of looking at things, a way of\nthinking, policies, an educational programme<\/em>\u201d (LS 111).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Those of us who\nlive far away from the Amazon receive a vital call regarding what comes from\nthat area. The search and extraction of gold from rivers and other places,\ncontinuously produce destruction and pollution of the environment. It is good\nto remember that this precious metal is also the cause of violence, slavery,\nsmuggling, robbery and theft in indigenous territories. The same happens with\nwood, illegally removed from the forest, which passes through corrupt means and\nthen reaches the \u201clegalised\u201d international market. In silence, there is also\nthe \u201cbio-piracy\u201d that steals various products and plant and animal species from\nnature, together with the millennial knowledge of the Amazon peoples. Many\nother products are exported as commodities, whose production requires the\ncomplete eradication of the forest (see Preparatory document).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We know that the\nCatholic Church has been present in some parts of the Amazon, since the arrival\nof the European colonizers. The Church is still a prophetic voice in the Amazon.\nWe want to send a special thanks to the brothers of our Order who currently\nlive and work in the Amazon region of Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru\nand Venezuela. At the same time, we ask all the brothers of the Order to be\nsensitive to the cry of the Amazon, defending the life, dignity and rights of\nthe Amazon peoples. We also ask them to be an ever more present Church, and\nwith the Amazonian missionary face, a Prophetic Church that faces the\nchallenges of today (see Instrumentum Laboris, Part III).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For more\ninformation, see: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sinodoamazonico.va\">www.sinodoamazonico.va<\/a> &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"text-align:left\">Happy Feast of Saint Francis!<br>Peace and all good!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"text-align:right\">Rome, 29 September\n2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"text-align:right\"><em>Feast of the\nArchangels, Saints Michael, Gabriel and Raphael<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"text-align:right\">Br.
