St. Francis of Assisi

St. Francis of Assisi

 Like Anthony the Great and Paul of Thebes, you reestablished harmony between humanity and the savage beast, recovering the long lost intimacy between creation and its creator. For, in your presence, the wolf of Gubio became a lamb, placing its paw in your hand as a sign of peace, while the birds delighted in your preaching, as you sought to awaken in these creatures devoid of reason a conscious praise for the Lord, a praise in the name of all creatures like themselves. O holy father Francis, beg Christ our God to grant us his peace.  First Sessional Hymn, Feast of St. Francis of Assisi, Monks of New Skete, 1995
