St. Francis is one of the most beloved saints, and the prayer attributed to him calls us to embody the peace, charity, and justice that Francis lived and preached. In The Prayer of St. Francis: A Call to Worship and Love, journey with St. Francis through each stanza of his prayer and how it connects to the liturgy.
While providing biographical information about St. Francis, this resource reflects spiritually on how his prayer is profoundly connected to the meaning of the Mass. By reflecting on St. Francis’ life, his prayer, the penitential act, the universal prayer, the sign of peace, the sharing of holy Communion, and the dismissal, you will come to a deeper appreciation and understanding of the Mass and the discipleship we are all called to live out in the world. This affordable resource is perfect for individual reflection, faith formation groups, or for the entire assembly.
