Peace Prayer by St. Francis of Asissi born of a wealthy family. He left his family when he was 20 years old and gave up his wealth for a life of poverty serving God. He was known as "The Little Poor Man." During his lifetime, he established the Franciscan Order and refurbished Saint Damaino and the Portiuncula. Francis was also known for receiving the gift of the stigmata from God which means he physically retained the wounds of Jesus Christ in hands and feet. Francis of Assisi was also very fond of nature, a fondness and understanding that was apparent to nature itself, as wild animals were tamed in his presence. His famous Peace Prayer reads:
                        Lord
    make me an instrument of Your Peace,
    where there is hatred, let me sow Love,
    when 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.
                      Lord
    grant that I may seek
    to Comfort then be comforted,
    to Understand rather then to be understood,
    to Love then to be loved,
    For it is by Giving that one receives,
    by Forgiving that one is forgiven,
    and by Dying that one awakens to
                      Eternal life.
