St. Francis of AssisiPrayer of 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.

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

St. Gianna Beretta MollaGod our Father we praise You and we bless you because in

Saint Gianna Beretta Molla you have given us one who

witnessed to the Gospel as a young women, as a wife, as a

mother, and as a doctor. We thank you because through the

gift of her life we can learn to welcome and honor every

human person.

You, Lord Jesus, were for Gianna a splendid example. She

learned to recognize you in the beauty of nature. As she was

questioning her choice of vocation she went in search of you

and the best way to serve you. Through her married love she

became a sign of your love for the Church and for humanity.

Like you, the Good Samaritan, she cared for everyone who

was sick, small or weak. Following your example, out of love

she gave herself entirely, generating new life.

Holy Spirit, Source of every perfection, give us wisdom,

intelligence, and courage so that, following the example of

Saint Gianna and through her intercession, we may know

how to place ourselves at the service of each person we

meet in our personal, family and professional lives, and thus

grow in love and holiness. Amen.
