St Francis

Here is the prayer of St. Francis... one of my favorites...

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.
Where there is hatred, let me bring love.
Where there is offence, let me bring pardon.
Where there is discord, let me bring union.
Where there is error, let me bring truth.
Where there is doubt, let me bring faith.
Where there is despair, let me bring hope.
Where there is darkness, let me bring your light.
Where there is sadness, let me bring joy.
O Lord, 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 one receives,
it is in self-forgetting that one finds,
it is in forgiving that one is forgiven,
it is in dying that one awakens to eternal life.

Here is the town of St Francis... Assisi

Roman ruins from 200AD and the other buildings
just were added right around it.

Amazing paintings in the church from 500 AD

Narrow streets of the village.

Monastery on the hill above the town of Assisi.

It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to see the good.
