A prayer of St. Francis:
Almighty, eternal, just and merciful God, give us miserable ones the grace to do for You alone what we know you want us to do and always to desire that pleases You. Inwardly cleansed, interiorly enlightened and inflamed by the fire of the Holy Spirit, may we be able to follow in the footprints of Your beloved Son, our Lord Jesus Chris, and, by Your grace alone, may we make our way to You, Most high, who live and rule in perfect Trinity and simple Unity, and are glorified God almighty, forever and ever.
Amen
