Invitation

Pax et Bonum!

If the Good Shepherd invited you to feast at His banquet table, what would you do?

Perhaps you have had the desire to make life better for many who are in need. Have you sometimes thought about this? If so, you have been reminded of a special invitation to serve the Lord!
Today, as yesterday, the Lord is calling and touching hearts that feel compassion for humanity. Individuals, like St. Francis of Assisi, Venerable Luis Amigó, and others have heard God and have acknowledged His call; without delay they have answered: “Here I am, Lord. What is it you want me to do?”

If you feel called by God, do not hesitate! Take the first step and trust the Lord to do the rest. He will receive you as an apostle; he will prepare you to continue His work of salvation, do not hesitate! God needs you and waits for a visible sign of your generosity and love.

If you have been called to His banquet table, accept the invitation! For, indeed, the feast He has prepared for you is great.

Bishop Luis Amigó y Ferrer

Biographical data of the Venerable

Venerable Luis Amigó was born at Masamagrell (Valencia Spain) on October 17, 1854. He entered the Seminary in Valencia where he finished secondary education. Moved by the desire of perfection, he dedicated to consecrate himself totally to the Lord. On April 12, 1874 he received the habit of St. Francis in the convent of the Capuchin Fathers at   Bayona       (France). He was ordained into priesthood on March 29, 1879. St. Pius X elevated-him to the Episcopal dignity and he was consecrated as bishop on June 9, 1907. He passed away on the    first day of October 1934 at Godella (Valencia).His life and his ardent and fruitful apostolate was inspired by the motto: “I give my life for my sheep.” His love for the youth induced him to found two religious congregations. THE CONGREGATION OF TERTIARY CAPUCHINS  OF THE HOLY FAMILY (WOMEN) on April 27, 1885, and the CONGREGATION OF TERTIARY CAPUCHINS OF THE OUR LADY OF SORROWS (MEN) on April 12, 1889. From Spain the two Congregations spread all over the world.

Venerable Luis Amigo entrusted this to his children: “You my beloved children constituted by Jesus little shepherds of His flock, are the ones to go after the lost sheep, until you bring them back to the flock of the Good Shepherd”; and he gave them, as a model and protectress the Sorrowful Virgin. Inspired by her patronage, the Tertiary Capuchins consider themselves cooperators in the regeneration of the youth.

Spirituality

Amigonian Trilogy

In writing to the Philippians, St. Paul admonishes them not to do anything in the spirit of contention or vain glory saying: “It is God, for His own loving purpose, who puts both the will and the action into you.” Phil. 2:13

So indeed, the Lord, having called Father Luis Amigó to continue His mission of love and redemption in the world, gave him the power to carry it out as His instrument. This charismatic quality was manifested in his spirituality which we call “Amigonian,” derived from the founder’s family, or surname, “Amigó.”

The essence of that spirituality is synthesized tri-dimensionally as Christocentric, Marian, and Franciscan. The synthesis, though somewhat complex, is best understood by a careful study of each dimension.

CHRISTOCENTRIC DIMENSION

         The Christocentric Dimension is founded in the love for Christ, Redeemer and Savior, merciful and loving Shepherd, who lives and gives Himself freely and abundantly for the salvation of men.

The Amigonian educator teaches Christian virtue so that the individual will have the capacity to face life with honor and dignity. 

MARIAN DIMENSION

         The Marian dimension is founded in the love and devotion to Our Lady of Sorrows who, at the foot of the cross, lived the passion of Jesus, united herself to Him in a very special way and thus, gave herself to the Father as Co-Redemptrix of the entire human race. 

FRANCISCAN DIMENSION

         The Franciscan dimension is founded in St. Francis the Seraphic Father of the Congregation.

Father Founder (as Capuchin Friar) was inspired by the Seraphic Father, a living image of Christ. Thus, he wanted to leave St. Francis to his sons and daughters as a model of humility, poverty, love for God, and zeal for the salvation of men.
