POOR FRANCIS, ENTERS HEAVEN RICH…
The 3rd of October is, without a doubt, significant day for all the
Franciscans as we fondly commemorate and re-live the great event of
‘Transitus’ or the ‘Passing away of St Francis of Assisi from earthly
life to eternal bliss’.
This very event was celebrated at Saccidananda by a meaningful ceremony
conducted by the friars on the festal eve. Rev. Fr Robin Victor, the
Superior presided over the rite and Rev. Fr Charles JR Furtado preached
an inspiring homily apt for the occasion. It was for the first time that
the faithful from the neighborhood participated in the ceremony of
Transitus and were edified by the way St Francis lived and joyfully
embraced ‘Sister Death’
