Dear Brothers!

The Rule and life of the Friars Minor is to observe the holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ, living in obedience, without anything of one's own and in chastity. It is Jesus who is our master and our Gospel.

As every year, the Capuchin Friars Minor of the Custody of Mexico and Texas have gathered from the different presences of our constituency to discuss the fundamental issues of our custody.

After a time of diaconal service in the fraternities in which we reside and the time required for the transitional diaconate towards the priestly ministry, on September 21, at the feast of St. Matthew Apostle, we have been Ordained Presbyters in the hands of Monsignor Felipe Pozos Lorenzini, auxiliary bishop of the Archdiocese of Puebla. The motto that has accompanied our consecration is the same one that has been collected by Beda the Venerable when talking about the life of St. Matthew: "He looked at me with mercy and chose me."

Today began the new postulancy course with the entry of four young people.
