St. Francis of Assisi, Feast October 4

[Flavia Talladen Schott]

Lord Jesus Christ, Who, when the world was growing cold, didst renew in the flesh of blessed Francis the sacred marks of Thy Passion in order to inflame our hearts with the fire of Thy love; mercifully grant that, by his merits and prayers, we may always carry the cross and bring forth fruits worthy of repentance: Who livest and reignest for ever and ever. Amen.

-- From the Raccolta

For conversion of all in need, for all Crusaders' intentions.

Sunlight, moon glow, bright stars

God, my God what an artist You are!

The sky, the earth, the sea

How could You notice me!

Father, I am too small

To be seen on Your canvas at all

An incidental speck

A grain of dust and yet

You love me, You love me, as if I were the only one to love!

You have lavished on me

All Your kindness so unsparingly

My honour, wealth, and skills

Are worthlessness yet still,

You love me, You love me, as if I were the only one to love!

How can You see me, how can You hear me?

How can You feel, how can You reach

How can You touch, how can You love me?

You love me, as if I were the only one to love !
