Br Ben Johnson OFM Cap
My name is Brother Ben Johnson and I am 25 years old and a Capuchin Friar in the Post Novitiate phase. This means I have completed my novitiate (the second year of religious formation) and have professed temporary vows. This phase involves part-time study and outreach to the poor and suffering. I first met the Capuchins when I was 19 in Melbourne.
Church Teaching on Consecrated Life
The life consecrated through the profession of the evangelical counsels is a stable form of living by which the faithful, following Christ more closely under the action of the Holy Spirit, are totally dedicated to God who is loved most of all, so that, having been dedicated by a new and special title to His honor, to the building up of the Church, and to the salvation of the world, they strive for the perfection of charity in the service of the kingdom of God and, having been made an outstanding sign in the Church, foretell the heavenly glory.
Religious Brothers
[The Church has] great esteem for the kind of consecrated life in which religious brothers provide valuable services of various kinds, inside or outside the community, participating in this way in the mission of proclaiming the Gospel and bearing witness to it with charity in everyday life.
Br Vincent Magat op
The beginnings of Br. Vincent’s vocation story are quite intriguing. As a young boy, he was first attracted to the priesthood because he believed that priests did nothing besides one or two masses on Sunday and nonetheless received respect and admiration from young and old alike! With age however, he began to realize not only how much priests actually do and accomplish, but that any respect they receive is well deserved.
