| St. Francis Question from Robin Stehen Gregry Mills on 11-09-2012: |
Our Priest read a poem attributed to St. Francis can you
please provide more information for me. Thank You |
| Answer by Fr. John Echert on 11-27-2012: |
The most famous prayers attributed to him is as follows: 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;
and 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;
and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life. Amen --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
