Prayers

The Prayer of Saint Francis of Assisi

Lord, make me an instrument of Thy 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 to eternal life.

Saint Francis Vocation Prayer

Most High, Glorious God,

enlighten the darkness of our minds.

Give us a right faith, a firm hope and a perfect charity,

so that we may always and in all things act according to Your Holy Will. Amen.

Saint Francis' Meditation Prayer

My God and my All.

Saint Francis' Prayer Before the Crucifix

Most High, glorious God, enlighten the darkness of my heart and give me true faith, certain hope, and perfect charity, sense and knowledge, so that I may carry out Your holy and true command. Amen.

Saint Francis' Prayer Before the Blessed Sacrament

We adore You, O Lord Jesus Christ, in this Church and all the Churches of the world, and we bless You, because, by Your holy Cross You have redeemed the world. Amen.

Saint Francis' Blessing

The Lord bless you and keep you; May He show His face to you and have mercy.

May He turn His countenance to you and give you peace.

Saint Francis' Praise of God

All powerful, most holy, most high, and supreme God:

All good, supreme good, totally good, You Who alone are good;

May we give You all praise, all glory, all thanks, all honor, all blessing, and all good things.

So be it. So be it. Amen.
