Prayer of Saint Francis of Assisi

Saint_Francis_of_Assisi

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
where there is injury,pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
and where there is sadness, joy.

O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek
to be consoled as to console;
to be understood as to understand;
to be loved as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive;
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life. Amen

Act of Spiritual Communion

June 16th, 2009 admin No comments

St_Alphonsus_Mary_de_Liguori_01My Jesus, I believe that Thou art truly present in the most Blessed Sacrament. I love Thee above all things, and I desire to possess Thee within my soul . Since I am now unable to receive Thee sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. I embrace Thee as being already there, and unite myself wholly to Thee; never permit me to be seperated from Thee.
- St. Alphonsus-Mary de Liguori -
