Plenty of Seeds Have Been Planted

Recently, I attended our region's Chapter of Mats. There were a lot of formation directors there. We were urged to study and master the For Up To Now (FUN) National Formation Manual.

On the way home from the chapter gathering, it occurred to me that there are over 600 Secular Franciscan fraternities in the United States. Each fraternity has a copy of the FUN Manual. Each formation director is charged with being a good steward of the FUN Manual and using it as a resource for the formation of new members and ongoing formation of professed members. It is an amazing resource.

Plenty of seeds have been planted. Many will bear fruit.
