Prayer of St Francis (greatest Christian since the first century)

[**Rowland Croucher**]

October 4 - The Feast of St. Francis

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.

Shalom/Salaam/Pax! Rowland Croucher

October 4 - The Feast of St. Francis

Well now, I realize Francis has always been highly respected in the West, but I
still think that if you Google "Life St. Seraphim Sarov" or "Life St. John
Kronstadt" you will get a pretty good idea why I have to balk at the idea of
Francis as "greatest Christian since the 1st century".
