for a day to commemorate St. Francis

Today we commemorate Francis of Assisi, renewer of the church, who died in 1226. Born into the family of a wealthy merchant, Francis gave up his inheritance to... serve poor people. He formed the Order of Friars Minor (called Franciscans), who took on poverty and the task of preaching ‘using words if necessary.’ Francis had a spirit of gratitude for all of God's creation. (Sundays and Seasons) A prayer attributed to Francis of Assisi: Lord, make us instruments of your peace. Where there is hatred, let us sow love; where there is injury, pardon; where there is discord, union; where there is doubt, faith; where there is despair, hope; where there is darkness, light; where there is sadness, joy. Grant that we 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 (ELW, p. 87).
