More quotes by 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
Sanctify yourself and you will sanctify society.
Francis of Assisi
You should never praise anyone until you see how he turns out in the end!
Francis of Assisi
You damned spirits! You can only do what the hand of God allows you to do.
Francis of Assisi
Grant me the treasure of sublime poverty.
Francis of Assisi
Our hands imbibe like roots, so i place them on what is beautiful in this world. And I fold them in prayer, and they draw from the heavens light
Francis of Assisi
God could not have chosen anyone less qualified, or more of a sinner, than myself. And so, for this wonderful work He intends to perform through us, He selected me- for God always chooses the weak and the absurd, and those who count for nothing.
Francis of Assisi
Pleased be you, my Lord, with all your creatures, especially Sir Brother Sun, who is the day and through whom you give us light. And he is beautiful and radiant with great splendours and bears likeness of you, Most High One.
Francis of Assisi
He who works with his hands and his head and his heart is an artist
Francis of Assisi
The only thing ever achieved in life without effort is failure.
Francis of Assisi
Do all you can to preach the gospel and if necessary use words!
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
It is not fitting, when one is in God's service, to have a gloomy face or a chilling look.
Francis of Assisi
Everything in man should halt in awe...Let all the world quake and let Heaven exult when Christ the Son of the living God is there on the altar.
Francis of Assisi
What does the poor man do at the rich man's door, the sick man in the presence of his physician, the thirsty man at a limpid stream? What they do, I do before the Eucharistic God. I pray. I adore. I love.
Francis of Assisi
I have been all things unholy. If God can work through me, he can work through anyone.
Francis of Assisi
Start by doing what's necessary then do what's possible and suddenly you are doing the impossible.
Francis of Assisi
Preach the gospel wherever you can when all else fails use words.
Francis of Assisi
Where there is discord may we bring harmony. Where there is error, may we bring truth. Where there is doubt, may we bring faith. Where there is despair, may we bring hope.
Francis of Assisi
I therefore command all my Brothers, those living now and those to come in the future, to venerate the Holy Mother of God, whom we always implore to be our Protectress, to praise her at all times, in all circumstances of life, with all the means in their power and with the greatest devotion and submission.
Francis of Assisi
