   after several years, to be precise 72 years, I found the treasure I was
   looking for..the story of a sinner turned saint, from riches to rags for
   the love of Christ. Beautiful!
   I will be translating this into Tamil and circulate among my parish community.

   Saint Francis of Assisi, pray for us.
   
   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

   A very interesting story- one filled with everything we must endure on our Christian pilgrimage. The more things the more they remain the same.
   We give God thanks for calling persons like Francis whose lives are there as a true testimony to God's transforming power.

    This is a great website to find out about the Saints. I was looking for information on The Feast of the Stigmata of Saint Francis. I was looking to confirm that Saint Francis of Assisi did have the stigmata. I learned something new; thank you! 9/16 was mentioned on another Catholic website as that Feast Day.

    Thank you so much for the information you provided, it was so helpful in learning about St. Francis. The saint in which my son was named after.

    Thank you so much for all this information on St. Francis, my son is named Francis the third, after his dad and his dad before him, I am grateful for the knowledge to impress upon my son, I wanted him to know these things and funny thing is, he is so much like his namesake........... he is so much more humble than the materialistic child he once was. Once again Thank You.
