Francis of Assisi
Image
It is not fitting, when one is in God's service, to have a gloomy face or a chilling look.
Francis of Assisi
Image
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
Image
Be praised, my Lord, through those who forgive for love of you through those who endure sickness and trial.
Francis of Assisi
Image
You damned spirits! You can only do what the hand of God allows you to do.

All the darkness in the world cannot extinguish the light of a single candle.
Francis of Assisi

You should never praise anyone until you see how he turns out in the end!
