Francis of Assisi quotes - page 3

Francis of Assisi was an Italian Catholic friar and preacher, renowned for his devotion to poverty and nature. His life inspired the founding of the Franciscan Order and a movement for compassion and simplicity. He became one of the most venerated religious figures in Christianity. Here are 54 of his quotes:

Lord, make me an instrument of Thy peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
Where there is injury, pardon;
Where there is doubt, faith;
Where there is despair, hope;
Where there is darkness, light;
Where there is sadness, joy.

O Divine Master,
Grant that I may not so much seek
To be consoled as to console,
To be understood as to understand,
To be loved, as to love;
For it is in giving that we receive;
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
It is in dying to self that we are born to Eternal Life.
Amen. (Francis of Assisi)

We have been called to heal wounds, to unite what has fallen apart, and to bring home those who have lost their way.

Francis of Assisi

It is in pardoning that we are pardoned.

Praised be You, my Lord, through our Sister, Mother Earth, who sustains and governs us, producing varied fruits with coloured flowers and herbs.

Francis of Assisi
