Statement

St. Francis Prayer, version 1 … the design highlights his emphasis of nature and is the first part of his prayer

St. Francis (1182-1226), born in Assisi, Italy and named Giovanni Francesco Barnardone, became a mystic and preacher. He appears to have received little formal education, even though his father was a wealthy merchant. As a young man, he led a worldly life. After severe illness, he resolved to alter his ways. 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.
The more complete text is in my version called St. Francis Prayer, version 2.

The image can be proportionately sized to be larger or smaller. It is a on a card that fits a #10 business envelope and prints that are about 5 x 11 and 6 x 16.
