Francis of Assisi

Men lose all the material things they leave behind them in this world, but they carry with them the reward of their charity and the alms they give. For these, they will receive from the Lord the reward and recompense they deserve.

Holy humility confounds pride and all the men of this world and all things that are in the world.

Pure, holy simplicity confounds all the wisdom of this world and the wisdom of the flesh.

Holy wisdom confounds Satan and all his wickednesses.

It is in pardoning that we are pardoned.

I am the herald of the Great King.

Praised be You, my Lord, with all Your creatures, especially Sir Brother Sun, Who is the day through whom You give us light. And he is beautiful and radiant with great splendour; of You, Most High, he bears the likeness.

Great and glorious God, and Thou Lord Jesus, I pray you shed abroad your light in the darkness of my mind. Be found of me, Lord, so that in all things I may act only in accordance with Thy holy will.

We should never desire to be over others. Instead, we ought to be servants who are submissive to every human being for God's sake.

It is not fitting, when one is in God's service, to have a gloomy face or a chilling look.

If God can work through me, he can work through anyone.

Lord, grant that I might not so much seek to be loved as to love.

Lord, make me an instrument of thy peace. Where there is hatred, let me sow love.

Start by doing what's necessary then do what's possible and suddenly you are doing the impossible.

Start by doing what__ necessary, then what__ possible, and suddenly you are doing the impossible.

Preach the Gospel at all times. When necessary, use words.

Praised be my Lord, for our sister water.St. Francis of Assisi,Canticle of the Sun

What each man is in Your eyes, thus he is, and no more.
