The Tau Community of Saint Francis is an Interfaith Spiritual Community without walls for enlightened souls seeking to live a personal relationship with their God from their own home

The members of the Tau Interfaith Spiritual Community of Saint Francis are God’s own Disciples, or the Lay Apostles of a modern age spearheading reconciliation and unity within the whole Family of Source. As ‘Disciples’ in service to God, we are also the ‘Lay Apostles,’ who are key players in God’s plan to reclaim His world. Our mission is to allow the love of Jesus to flow through us into the world, bringing His Love and Divine Light to souls regardless of their faith beliefs, who live in darkness to ‘Come Together as one family in God.

WHO CAN BE A MEMBER OF THE TAU COMMUNITY?

You can. All you have to do is say "yes" to God's invitation to serve Him. Your religious education or affiliation doesn't matter. Nor does anything you've done in your past life. All that matters is your willingness to serve.

“Dear Friends who are in service to Jesus, you will not be sorry you sacrificed for Me. During the whole of your eternity, you will reap the rewards for having done so. In a time when few understand the concept of sacrifice, you are giving of yourselves, day after day, to bring about My goals. You are serving Me and you are serving your fellow man. How many can say that during these days?”

WHAT DOES A MEMBER OF THE TAU COMMUNITY DO?

As a member of our interfaith spiritual community you walk closely with God throughout each day. The first goal is the personal movement toward unity with God. In other words, we concentrate first on our own holiness and the perfection of our own souls. We do this through our vocations as mothers, fathers, priests, religious, single people, daughters, sons, sisters and brothers. Many of our members serve Jesus through service to others. We learn to love Jesus through loving others. We become united to Jesus by treating others with His love and gentleness. We bring kindness back to the world by behaving as though we lived in the heavenly kingdom, which of course, we do.

Some souls pray a great deal, but do not love. This is not unity to Christ. This is unity to prayer. But the goal of prayer is unity with Christ. Christ is love. Prayer brings us to love, to softer hearts, to forgiveness and patient service to others.

The members of the Tau Community seek to live this message of love and kindness as demonstrated by Saint Francis and the Divine Feminine as monastics from their own home.

Some members of our spiritual community will be called to spread the message about the Tau interfaith Community. Some members will be called to support the community’s ministry for Peace, Reconciliation and Unity in prayer. Some are called to suffer in obscurity, with only Jesus as the witness to their soul’s constant progress. Everyone will be called. Everyone is chosen to serve.

"Do not ask if you are called to serve. Assume you are called to serve. The fruits of this mission are magnificent and will increase daily. Serve, My beloved apostles, serve."

Every time you speak about the Tau Community and its messages, you are as much an apostle as the original Twelve sent by Jesus to bring His Word to villages and towns across Judea and Galilee .

You can begin each day by praying the Allegiance Prayer and the Morning Offering:

ALLEGIANCE PRAYER
Dear God in Heaven, I pledge my allegiance to You. I give You my life, my work and my heart. In turn, give me the grace of obeying Your every direction to the fullest extent.

MORNING OFFERING
O Jesus, through the Immaculate Heart of Mary, I offer You the prayers, works, joys and sufferings of this day for all the intentions of Your Sacred Heart, in union with the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass throughout the world, in reparation for my sins, and for the intentions of the Holy Father. Amen.

WHAT ELSE CAN YOU DO?

1. Lead by example.
Read the Daily Prayer Manual and work on your spiritual life. For our brothers and sisters in Tau you can come close to Christ through daily prayer, frequent attendance at Mass and the Eucharist, monthly Confession, weekly Adoration, participation in a prayer group (if available), and reading the Scriptures.

2. Sow seeds.
Many lay apostles enjoy introducing their friends, relatives and strangers to the Volumes. Talk about the effect they have had on your life. Jesus says all you have to do is open the door a crack and He will do the rest.

3. Be a pillar of calm and strength.
One of the many rewards of the Volumes is the amount of calm and strength that pours into your soul as you read over the pages. When you take these messages to heart, your priorities change. Things that used to stress you out no longer do. A contagious air of calm begins to emanate from you to those about you. In times of trouble, be the oasis of peace that draws others to Jesus.

4. Choose your own level of involvement.
Your apostleship may be a strictly private one where you live the mission in your heart, pursuing unity with God, Jesus, Mohammed, etc. through your vocation. On the other hand, you may want to become involved in a more public way, working at the parish level, with TCOSF itself, or with groups you organize or join, sharing your talents and services where God determines He needs them most. One of the beautiful parts of this mission is that Jesus is calling you to serve, in most cases, exactly where He has placed you.

“All that you need is yours. All of heaven, dear apostles, will be yours. Together we will do the greatest things for heaven.” Message from Jesus.

Brother Sean has published a beautiful Daily Prayer Book under guidance from Jesus and Magdalene for enlightened seeking to enhance their daily spiritual life with God. The title is: "The Light Worker's Way," another sacred tool underpinned by the ancient teachings of the Essenes.

In April 2008 at the tomb of Saint Francis, Jesus revealed to Brother Sean a set of guidelines for those called to assist in the work of TCOSF. The message was SIMPLE. ‘Rebuild My Church, the whole Family of God, by praying for peace, unity and reconciliation of all faiths to come together as ONE.’ The members of the TCOSF can achieve this through prayer, fasting and living a monastic life in service to God as conduits of divine grace, spreading God’s love and light throughout the earth.

THE MEMBERS OF THE TAU INTERFAITH SPIRITUAL COMMUNITY

THE MEMBERS OF THE TCOSF AGREE TO PERFORM THE FOLLOWING SPIRITUAL DUTIES:

The members of the TCOSF agree to perform certain basic obligations as outlined in their Spiritual Guidelines as committed members. Members of the TCOSF who are not Christian or a practicing Catholic can devise their own spiritual path linking them with God through their own spiritual teachings. Additionally, they adopt the following spiritual practices, as best they can:

1. Morning Offering along with the Allegiance Prayer to God.

2. One hour of Eucharistic Adoration each week

3. Participation in our monthly Member’s Retreat Days.

4. Monthly Confession

Members who join the TCOSF as a Friend or as a committed member of the online monastic interfaith spiritual community are invited by God each day to embrace the spiritual practices that Jesus asks of our heart. Without periods of silence, prayer, meditation, etc. then our efforts would be in vain.

We receive many requests for information on setting up a Tau Community spiritual group in their area, so that they might form a meditation/prayer group for peace or receive other prayerful support.

Client Feedback to Tau Cross and Blessed Healing Oils blessed by Brother Sean,

The Tau Cross and the Oil are amazing. Thank you for both. The Tau Cross makes a noticeable difference to me, and the Oil is a blessing for the whole household. Baby Lucas loves it when I massage his hands and feet with warm Oil! Cramps disappear instantly when I massage his belly with the warm oil. Not only do the cramps disappear, Lucas starts smiling a big, joyful smile!

Thank you for the loving kindness you and your students invest in preparing the Tau Crosses and the Oil! You are making a difference. You predicted that my mind would attack me. It did, and still does. But somehow, it is loosing its grip on me. Day by day, things are changing. Sometimes I can clearly feel God in my heart and even receive some very wise messages when I connect my heart to God's. My hands are transmitting a very loving, peaceful, healing energy. At the moment, I am practicing with Dagmar and Lucas. It is wonderful. Could send me 5 Tau Crosses to give to my friends. Peace and all the best, Brother Rob. (Netherlands).

As Members of the Tau Family, we are committed to our individual spiritual development with emphasis on nurturing our interior castle through daily prayer, meditation and periods of silence in the presence of God. The Vision: Our vision originates not from any selfish ambition or egotistical agenda but stems m many years

Many years of soul searching through daily prayer for the achievement of a more compassionate interfaith response was spearheaded in July 2006 when the Ascended Master Lord Kutumi (Saint Francis) spoke to our hears in meditation to establish the Tau Community based on the Principles of the ancient Johannine Essenes of Mount Carmel and rooted in the simplicity of St. Francis’s spirituality. Where religion caused separation and isolation for God’s children, the simplicity of St. Francis broke down barriers thus offering a helping hand to help heal mankind as well as the planet.

The Tau symbol, made from olive wood, was originally given to Saint Francis as a means of uniting all beliefs without causing any religious hatred. The Tau symbol represents Peace, Love and Unity for all of God’s family regardless of their religious beliefs. Wearing the symbol gives out a positive message to the world saying that ‘I believe in Unity and Peace for All.’ The symbol represents God reaching down touching His children in chaos restoring Balance, Harmony and Unification within the whole spiritual family of God. It is not a religious statement but an act of selfless love from Source to those of us willing to embrace the spiritual wholeness and wellness for society’s ills today.

To be a member of the Tau Interfaith Spiritual Community, you are invited to consider the following recommendations of membership. They are:

        Before embarking on a mission to save or heal the religious divides of the world, you have a responsibility as well as a duty of care to yourself and your spiritual life by learning first to love and forgive oneself as a child of God recognising that God’s love is there for you at all times. All you have to do is ASK so that you too can receive abundance today!

       We can only forgive others when we have been given the divine strength from God to self heal all that was broken by man in ignorance and pain. Forgiveness and Forgetting go hand in hand. To forgive another but not forget their wrongdoing is not absolute forgiveness in the eyes of God.

       As a child of the same Loving, Forgiving God who created you in His/Her image and likeness, you are invited to make time each day to invite the presence of God into your life.

       This is a mandatory request as without embracing the sacred tools of Prayer, Meditation, Silence and Contemplation, the soul’s own food to sustain a healthy spiritual life, you will not be spiritually energised to act as a Peace ambassador for God.

        Joining brothers and sisters of other faith beliefs is recommended as in sharing their beliefs and cultures, one is best able to understand their ‘religious way of life,’ thus breaking down barriers of resentment and fear based mindsets.

        Members are invited to liaise with other Members either electronically or by regular contact by telephone.

To support our new Members benefit from a closer understanding of interfaith issues in their local communities, we recommend that you learn from Saint Francis by living a simple life based not on materialism but more to do with living a simple life based on God’s love for you as His/Her child. You can do this by one or more of the following suggestions:

·         Re-treating from the modern world and its many distractions.

·        Nurture your interior spiritual life with your God by joining our members in quiet prayer at times
best suited for you. Our members recite the Light Worker’s Way’ a selection of prayers and
readings given to Brother Sean by Jesus.

·        The wearing of the Tau Symbol as a sign of your fidelity to God as a Peace Ambassador.

·          Regular spiritual retreats to sustain your interior spiritual life with God.

·         We invite our members to consider uniting as one spiritual family and instead of working alone and that we centralise our energies as Brothers and Sisters who share the same common core values for a safer and better world.

Joining the Tau Interfaith Spiritual Community of Saint Francis is a modern concept of uniting Brothers and Sisters from many different religious beliefs to come together online as one caring spiritual family. You do not have to enter an Ashram or monastic community achieve this vision of Peace. All one has to do is be as God made you.
