More quotes by Francis of Assisi
The brave unfortunate are our best acquaintance.
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
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
Ask the beasts and they will teach you the beauty of this earth.
Francis of Assisi
You damned spirits! You can only do what the hand of God allows you to do.
Francis of Assisi
He who works with his hands and his head and his heart is an artist
Francis of Assisi

Francis of Assisi
A promise is a child of the understanding and the will the understanding begets it, the will brings it forth.
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
A single sunbeam is enough to drive away many shadows.
Francis of Assisi
Do all you can to preach the gospel and if necessary use words!
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
Be praised, my Lord, through those who forgive for love of you through those who endure sickness and trial.
Francis of Assisi
...In this world I cannot see the Most High Son of God with my own eyes, except for His Most Holy Body and Blood.
Francis of Assisi
The world is a great stage on which God displays his many wonders.
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
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
Remember that when you leave this earth, you can take with you nothing that you have received - only what you have given: a full heart, enriched by honest service, love, sacrifice and courage.
Francis of Assisi
All the darkness in the world cannot extinguish the light of a single candle.
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.
Francis of Assisi
