Francis of Assisi

A Prayer:

Lord, make me an instrument of Your peace. Where there is hatred, let me sow love; where there is injury, pardon; where there is doubt, faith; where there is despair, hope; where there is darkness, light; where there is sadness, joy.

O, Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console; to be understood as to understand; to be loved as to love; For it is in giving that we receive; it is in pardoning that we are pardoned; it is in dying that we are born again to eternal life.

Some Admonitions:

The deeds you do may be the only sermon some persons will hear today.

We have been called to heal wounds, to unite what has fallen apart, and to bring home those who have lost their way.
