								Celebration of Transitus – Shanthi Sadhan - 
								FISI 
									
									The Transitus 
									of St. Francis is a celebration of the 
									passage of the saint from his earthly life 
									to the glory of heaven. Traditionally 
									celebrated by Franciscans all over the world 
									on Oct. 3, Transitus is a Latin word which 
									means “passage” or “crossing over.” In all 
									of the accounts written about the death of 
									St. Francis, it is always remarked that he 
									crossed from earthly life to eternal life 
									with the Lord, filled with joy and having 
									written his Canticle of Creation. In 
									celebrating the Transitus, we are reminded 
									that death is a part of life, that the final 
									journey of our earthly existence is nothing 
									to be feared, but to be celebrated and 
									embraced. For it is only through death that 
									we come to the full joy of the Lord.  
									 
									Shanthi Sadhana – Franciscan Institute of 
									Spirituality in India-FISI, celebrated the 
									Transitus of St. Francis of Assisi with the 
									enactment. The sisters put up a excellent 
									devotional performance of Transitus. The 
									celebration began at 6.30 pm at the 
									reception of FISI and moved towards the main 
									Chapel and ended at the Cave with the candle 
									light procession honouring St. Francis of 
									Assisi. Fr. Joseph Dolphy Pais preached a 
									fitting homily to become the voice and face 
									of Jesus in the footprints of St. Francis of 
									Assisi.
