More quotes by Francis of Assisi
St. Francis of Assisi was hoeing his garden when someone asked what he would do if he were suddenly to learn that he would die before sunset that very day. I would finish hoeing my garden, he replied.
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
The brave unfortunate are our best acquaintance.
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
All things of creation are children of the Father and thus brothers of man. ... God wants us to help animals, if they need help. Every creature in distress has the same right to be protected.
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.

Where there is darkness, let there be light.
Francis of Assisi
Sanctify yourself and you will sanctify society.
Francis of Assisi
Not to hurt our humble brethren is our first duty to them, but to stop there is not enough. We have a higher mission - to be of service to them whenever they require it.
Francis of Assisi
Preach the gospel wherever you can when all else fails use words.
Francis of Assisi
Do all you can to preach the gospel and if necessary use words!
Francis of Assisi
I have been all things unholy. If God can work through me, he can work through anyone.
Francis of Assisi
Go out and preach the gospel and if you must, use words.
Francis of Assisi
You damned spirits! You can only do what the hand of God allows you to do.
Francis of Assisi
It was easy to love God in all that was beautiful. The lessons of deeper knowledge, though, instructed me to embrace God in all things.
Francis of Assisi
Start by doing what's necessary then do what's possible and suddenly you are doing the impossible.
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
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
Nor did demons crucify Him it is you who have crucified Him and crucify Him still, when you delight in your vices and sins.
Francis of Assisi
Do not put off any longer confessing all your sins, for death will soon come. Give and it will be given you forgive and you will be forgiven. . . Blessed are they who die repentant, for they shall go to the Kingdom of Heaven!
Francis of Assisi
