St. Francis of Assisi Quotations
Above
all the grace and the
gifts that Christ gives
to his beloved is that
of overcoming self. --
St. Francis of Assisi
For it is in giving that
we receive. -- St.
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.. --St. Francis of
Assisi
Grant
me the treasure of
sublime poverty: permit
the distinctive sign of
our order to be that it
does not possess
anything of its own
beneath the sun, for the
glory of your name, and
that it have no other
patrimony than begging.
-- St. Francis of Assisi
I have been all things
unholy. If God can work
through me, he can work
through anyone.-- St.
Francis of Assisi
If a superior give any
order to one who is
under him which is
against that man's
conscience, although he
do not obey it yet he
shall not be dismissed.
-- St. Francis of Assisi
If God can work through
me, he can work through
anyone. --St. Francis of
Assisi
If you have men who will
exclude any of God's
creatures from the
shelter of compassion
and pity, you will have
men who will deal
likewise with their
fellow men. -- St.
Francis of Assisi
Lord, grant that I might
not so much seek to be
loved as to love. --St.
Francis of Assisi
