The Confraternity of Penitents


Bibel

En lekmannagrupp som lever efter en modern tappning av en medeltida livsregel från år 1221

Att fullfölja kyrkans uppmaning till ständig omvändelse och överlåtelse i vår moderna tid

Här kan du läsa mer om en lekmannagrupp som lever en efter en modern tappning av en medeltida livsregel given år 1221 av Sankt Frans av Assisi till alla lekmän.
Den blev kallad "botgörarorden", med vilket menas - ständig omvändelse och överlåtelse till Gud.
Det är en Romersk katolsk privat sammanslutning av troende vilkas medlemmar lever regeln i sina egna hem i trohet mot Kyrkans lära, påven och biskopen.

Orden är inte knuten till någon speciell orden (såsom fransiskaner dominikaner, benedektinerm augustiner, salisianer, jesuits, karmeliter etc), Confraternity of Penitents känner igen sig i alla dessa ordnar genom att de alla fostrar till att komma närmara Gud. CFP fokuserar inte på grundarens personlighet eller karaktär utan snarare på ständig omvändelse till Gud, som är praktiserad av alla helgon och predikat av Kristus, vår Herre. Det är i dagligt språk kallat "den fransiskanska visionen" eftersom det var Fransiskus kallelse till alla omvändare och bättringgörare

Fulfilling the Catholic Church's Call to Penance and Repentance in the Modern World

The Confraternity of Penitents

"You shall love the Lord your God with your whole heart, with your whole soul, and with all your mind, (and) you shall love your neighbor as yourself." (Jesus' words as recorded in Matthew 22:37-38)

Doing Penance As A Means of Surrender to God

"You shall love the Lord your God with your whole heart, with your whole soul, and with all your mind, (and) you shall love your neighbor as yourself." (Jesus' words as recorded in Matthew 22:37-38)

Doing Penance As A Means of Surrender to God

Are you a Roman Catholic lay person who is looking for more in life? What is your goal? Might it be something like one of these?

  • Being at peace.
  • Growing closer to God.
  • Surrendering to God.
  • Becoming holier.
  • Becoming the person God created you to be.
  • Getting to heaven.
  • Doing God’s Will.
  • Helping others to know about God’s love.
  • Helping others get to heaven.
  • Loving God better.
  • Doing penance for sin.
  • Assisting the Catholic Church in her mission.

If one of these, or something similar, is your goal, and you wish you had some guidance as well as the support of others in reaching that goal, then read on! The Holy Spirit may have brought you to these pages.

Did you know that living a Rule of Life that has been accepted by the Church is a marvelous way to begin to accomplish these goals? Why? Because the Church promises that those who follow such Rules faithfully are guaranteed eternal life. Many Religious Orders, Congregations, and Associations of the Faithful, whose Members follow a Rule of Life, exist in the Catholic Church. Each of these has unique charism that is reflected in the organization’s Rules, Statutes, Constitutions, and other governing materials. If you wish to achieve any or all of the above goals, could you do better than living a Rule of Life?

Many people believe that such Rules exist only for consecrated religious like nuns and brothers. That is not true! Thankfully many wonderful Rules of Life, accepted and encouraged by the Catholic Church, exist for lay people to follow. The graces that come from following a Rule of Life are many.

  • You give up your own will to follow the Rule.
  • You grow in humility.
  • You grow more detached from worldly possessions.
  • You learn self-discipline.
  • You practice love of neighbor by serving others.
  • You practice love of God through prayer and worship.

Does it make sense that a Rule of Life that causes you to give up more of your own will, to grow more in humility, to become more detached from possessions, to practice more self-discipline, to engage in greater service to your neighbor, and to pray more to our God, is a Rule that will speed you along the spiritual journey to help you achieve your spiritual goals? With the grace of the Holy Spirit, the Confraternity of Penitents can assist you in all of these ways and more!

CFP is not affiliated with any specific Order (Franciscan, Dominican, Benedictine, Augustinian, Missionaries of Charity, Salesians, Jesuits, and so on), the Confraternity of Penitents recognizes all Catholic religious Orders as means of drawing closer to God. The Confraternity focuses, not on the charism of a founder, but rather on penance (conversion) as practiced by all the saints and preached by Christ, our Holy Lord. This is commonly called the “Franciscan vision” as it was the call of St. Francis to the penitents of his time.
