Secular Franciscan Alliance

Secular Franciscan Alliance The SFA recognizes the whole person as a composite being who posses varied, distinct, and even conflicting qualities and identities.

In order to preserve, endure, and learn, the person has to undergo experiences – both happy and painful, and has to overcome trials and obstacles in life. In this process of a person’s quest for survival and preservation of identity, he needs confidants or “BUDDIES” who will be there for him; to guide, teach, and enlighten him on what to do, which path to choose, and what decisions to make. He nee

ds someone who will tell him his strengths and limitations, his virtues and vices, his talents and sluggishness, his assets and liabilities. And in the event when he experiences the “downs” and the “outs” of life, he needs someone to toss him up, make him feel better, and help him realize that after all, this is still a beautiful world to live. As a person, SFA understands one’s ambivalence; that is, a person’s basic “goodness” and his tendency to do bad. However, SFA believes that no matter how bad a person is, there is still room for a change if the person himself wills to better his life. And in the process of changing, he needs someone – a “buddy” – who is willing to listen and understand, to accept him as a person, and to tell him honestly the “good” to promote, and the “bad” to do away with. In this way, he is able to chart his goals and direction, develops courage and confidence, self-acceptance, and the will to keep going in spite of it all. The SFA also recognizes the youth’s dynamism and his search for an outlet of energies. If these energies are properly used and guided through wholesome, constructive, and purposeful activities coupled with care, concern, and love of responsible confidants or “BUDDIES”, every individual youth could become a positive contribution to society. On the other hand, however, if the youth finds misguided channels of activities through misguided peers, every individual youth would end up a social problem, and all the energies and potentials within him which could have been of great help could just go to waste. It is for this general belief that the SFA has come to exist – to help every individual member grow morally, spiritually, socially, intellectually, and emotionally; guide him mold responsibly his future, overcome his weaknesses and limitations, develop his talents, good character, and promote the values of sharing and service which will make him become a responsible and upright person: a positive contribution to society and to God.
