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.
