Statement

St. Francis Prayer, version 2 - the whole prayer

St. Francis (1182-1226), born in Assisi, Italy was a mystic and a preacher. I am inspired by the great believers of history like St. Francis. He appears to have received little formal education, even though his father was a wealthy merchant. In his early twenties he was severely ill; when recovered he resolved to alter his worldly ways and pursue God. His change of character and expenditures for charity angered his father, who legally disinherited him.
He devoted his life to doing good, established the Franciscan order and was proclaimed patron saint of ecologists by Pope John Paul II in 1980. His persevering and passionate faith earnestly seeking God is expressed in this prayer.
This version contains the more complete text of the St. Francis Prayer.

The 8x10 image works well in an 11 x 14 frame and can be customized proportionately to fit a larger or smaller frame.
