St. Francis of Assisi

The Prayer of St. Francis

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. Francis of Assisiwas born to a very wealthy family but

gave up all material wealth to love and

serve the Lord.

St. Therese of Lisieux

St. Therese of Lisieux

loved Jesus so much that she wanted

to become a nun at a very young age.

Her Little Way of loving Jesus was

by loving everyone in any and

every small way she could.

The Little Way

"Love proves itself by deeds, so how am

I to show my love? Great deeds are

forbidden me. The only way I can prove

my love is by scattering flowers

and these flowers are every little

sacrifice, every glance and word,

and the doing of the least actions

for love."

- St. Therese

St. Juan Diego

St. Juan Diego

saw a vision of Mary on a hill one day.

She told him she wanted a church built on the

hill. St. Juan Diego needed a sign of proof

for others to believe that he really saw Mary.

She gave him special flowers to pick andcarry in his cloak as proof. When he opened

up his cloak to show the flowers, everyone was

surprised to see an image of Our Lady on the

cloak! Soon after, a church was built on the site

where Our Lady appeared, and thousands

converted to Christianity.
