Francis of Assisi
Be praised, my Lord, through those who forgive for love of you through those who endure sickness and trial.

Such was the will of the Father that his Son, blessed and glorious, whom he gave to us, and who was born for us, should by his own blood, sacrifice, and oblation, offer himself on the altar of the cross, not for himself, by whom all things were made, but for our sins, leaving us an example that we should follow his steps.
Francis of Assisi
Go out and preach the gospel and if you must, use words.
Francis of Assisi
Start by doing what's necessary then do what's possible and suddenly you are doing the impossible.
Francis of Assisi
By the anxieties and worries of this life Satan tries to dull man's heart and make a dwelling for himself there.
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
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
He who works with his hands and his head and his heart is an artist

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
