St. Francis of Assisi, pls pray for us, that we may also help build the Church in whatever little way that we could, the way that GOD wants us (be it in our domestic Church, the family, the Parish, the Diocease, etc).
Help us also to grow closer to the brotherhood of the creation of GOD and thus endeavor to protect the environment from abuse and misuse.
May GOD raise up more St. Francis of Assisis, for the Church and the world needs them.
