Francis of Assisi. (1181-1226) (Feast of St. Francis on the 4th October).

During the last years of his relatively short life he was half blind and seriously ill. Two years before his death, he received the stigmata the real and painful wounds of Christ in his hands, feet and side.

                               Prayer of St. Francis of Assisi.

 

Lord, make me an instrument of Thy peace;          O Divine Master, grant that I may

where there is hatred, let me sow love;               not so much seek to be consoled as

where there is injury, pardon;                             to console; to be understood as to

where there is doubt, faith                                understand; to be loved, as to love;

where there is despair hope;                              for it is in  giving that we receive,       

where there is darkness, light;                            it is in pardoning that we are

and where there is sadness, joy                   pardoned, and it is in dying that we

                                                                       are born to eternal life.
