More quotes by Francis of Assisi

Francis of Assisi
Gold hath no lustre of its own. It shines by temperate use alone.
Francis of Assisi
Don't canonize me too soon. I'm perfectly capable of fathering a child.
Francis of Assisi
We have been called to heal wounds, to unite what has fallen away, and to bring home those who have lost their way. Many who seem to us to be children of the Devil will still become Christ's disciples.
Francis of Assisi
The deeds you do may be the only sermon some persons will hear today.

Francis of Assisi
I beg you to show the greatest possible reverence and honor for the most holy Body and Blood of our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom all things, whether on earth or in heaven, have been brought to peace and reconciled with Almighty God
Francis of Assisi
I believe that You, O Jesus, are in the most holy Sacrament. I love You and desire You. Come into my heart. I embrace You. Oh, never leave me. May the burning and most sweet power of Your love, O Lord Jesus Christ, I beseech You, absorb my mind that I may die through love of Your love, Who were graciously pleased to die through love of my love.
Francis of Assisi
What is it that stands higher than words? Action. What is it that stands higher than action? Silence.
Francis of Assisi
May the power of your love, Lord Christ, fiery and sweet as honey, so absorb our hearts as to withdraw them from all that is under heaven. Grant that we may be ready to die for love of your love, as you died for love of our love.
Francis of Assisi
There is absolutely no man in the whole world who can possess one among you unless he first die.
Francis of Assisi
Such was the will of the Father that his Son, blessed and glorious, whom he gave to us, and who was born for us, should by his own blood, sacrifice, and oblation, offer himself on the altar of the cross, not for himself, by whom all things were made, but for our sins, leaving us an example that we should follow his steps.
Francis of Assisi
Do few things but do them well, simple joys are holy.
Francis of Assisi
Dear God, please reveal to us your sublime beauty, that is everywhere, everywhere, everywhere, so that we will never again feel frightened.
Francis of Assisi
I have been all things unholy. If God can work through me, he can work through anyone.
Francis of Assisi
Jesus is happy to come with us, as truth is happy to be spoken, as life to be lived, as light to be lit, as love is to be loved, as joy to be given, as peace to be spread.
Francis of Assisi
Preach the gospel wherever you can when all else fails use words.
Francis of Assisi
Be praised, O my Lord by Brother Wind, By air and cloud and every clime To whom Thou givest sustenance unto their kind.

Lord, grant that I might not so much seek to be loved as to love.
Francis of Assisi
