BCers Visit Italy, Switzerland & France; Pt 7: The Selling Of Saint Francis In Assisi
AS A WEDDING gift our friend Lenore, a White Rock artist, gave my husband and me her painting of a small statue of St. Francis that stood in her garden.
Perhaps we were destined to visit Assisi years later as part of our trip to Italy. Assisi is the birthplace of St. Francis, a man who rejected his privileged life to risk ridicule before gaining recognition and respect.
Although it is said that St. Francis did not actually write the Prayer of St. Francis, there is little doubt that the words exemplify his outlook. He befriended not only the poor but animals as well. The prayer says:
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.
The word Saint showcases the letter "S". Visit ABC Wednesday to see how others showcase letters from A to Z.
