A Day with St. Francis of Assisi
A few years ago writer David Hazard did some research on Francis of Assisi and was inspired to write a book of 40 meditations, A Day in Your Presence. St. Francis wrote from a Christian perspective. I have done some minor editing for our multi-faith world.
“I am awed at the glory of it, amazed at the great and holy gift that is ours—to have a Creator who cares. Deep within me the very wonder of it burns with a holy fire. When I am faced with my own sin, it warms me with consolation. When I face a world of cruelty and vices, it brightens my soul with its beauty and with flames of holy wonder. To have a God who has willingly and lovingly promised to be ours forever!”
--St. Francis, from his second letter to the faithful
Realize the gift that is within you and within those with whom we work and live.
Prayer: In this moment, I want to be with you so that I may walk today in this thirsty world and carry with me a cool drink of your presence. Amen.
