Francis of Assisi

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

Francis of Assisi
It is no use walking anywhere to preach unless our walking is our preaching.
Francis of Assisi

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
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
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
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
Do few things but do them well, simple joys are holy.
Francis of Assisi
Lord, grant that I might not so much seek to be loved as to love.
Francis of Assisi
