More quotes by Francis of Assisi
I have sinned against my brother the ass.
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
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
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
You should never praise anyone until you see how he turns out in the end!
Francis of Assisi
Don't change the world, change worlds.
Francis of Assisi
A single sunbeam is enough to drive away many shadows.

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
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
Lord, help me to live this day, quietly, easily. To lean upon Thy great strength, trustfully, restfully. To wait for the unfolding of Thy will, patiently, serenely. To meet others, peacefully, joyously. To face tomorrow, confidently, courageously.
Francis of Assisi
You damned spirits! You can only do what the hand of God allows you to do.
Francis of Assisi
Do few things but do them well, simple joys are holy.
Francis of Assisi
It would be considered a theft on our part if we didn't give to someone in greater need than we are.
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
Lord, grant that I might not so much seek to be loved as to love.
Francis of Assisi
Lord, make me an instrument of thy peace. Where there is hatred, let me sow love.
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
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
Don't canonize me too soon. I'm perfectly capable of fathering a child.
Francis of Assisi
