Prayer of St. Francis

“The Lord is my light and my salvation—whom shall I fear?
I will sing and make music to the Lord my God.”
--Psalm 27, selected verses

Excerpts from a prayer of St. Francis as he spent time in solitude:

“You are holy, Lord, you are the only God
And all your works are wondrous.
You are strong
You are great,
You are most high.
You, most holy, are the Lord of heaven and earth!
You are the mystery, the Lord God above all gods.
You are good,
You are all good,
You are the highest good.
Lord of all, God of all, ever living and ever true.
You are the fire of love itself.
You are our
Wisdom, humility, patience, beauty, meekness, security, inner peace and our joy.

Great and wonderful Lord!
You are God who lives forever, offering me life!”

I pray that you will have a blessed weekend, filled with good.
