Prayer 985- On the Feast of St. Francis



Holy One, let us sing your praises in the fields and the forests; let us lift our hearts to You under the canopy of heaven! 

Let us serve You and each other in gentleness and tenderness, giving thanks for all the wonders of this life. 

Help us plant peace within our hearts and sow love and understanding in the world. 
Make us gentle and compassionate toward all living beings, cherishing and nurturing this earth and all its creatures. 
Let us preach peace in our thoughts and our actions, and embody mercy and empathy in each step. 
Open our eyes to the love that surrounds us and calls us to respond with all that we are, for You, O God, are Love. 

Merciful Lord, we lift our prayers before You for all of us in need of your grace: bless and keep those we now name, we pray.

Amen.
