The following is a prayer of St. Francis of Assisi, as relevant to us today as in his time (1121-1226).
Most High, Glorious God,
enlighten the darkness of our minds;
give us a right faith, a firm hope, and a perfect charity,
so that we may always and in all things act
according to Your Holy Will.
Amen
O Lord, help us to remember in this Passion week, as we witness darkness and death in the world around us, that by following God’s will into the darkness you brought us the light of your resurrection.
Draw us towards your love O Lord, towards hope, and towards the discipline of faith, that we may find a new life, and new way, in you. Amen
