“You are holy, Lord, the only God…. You are strong, you are great, you are the Most High, you are almighty…. You are Good, all Good, supreme Good…. You are love, you are wisdom. You are humility, you are endurance. You are rest…. You are our eternal life, great and wonderful Lord, God almighty, merciful Savior.”

The Prayer of Saint Francis
"O Lord, make me an instrument of Thy Peace!
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
Where there is injury, pardon;
Where there is discord, harmony;
Where there is doubt, faith;
Where there is despair, hope;
Where there is darkness, light, and
Where there is sorrow, joy.
Oh 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."

—St. Francis Assisi
