Prayer of St. Francis

Lord, make me an instrument of Your peace. Where there is hatred, let me sow love; where there is injury, pardon; where there is doubt, faith; where there is despair, hope; where there is darkness, light; where there is sadness, joy.
O, Divine Master, grant that I 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; it is in dying that we are born again to eternal life.

On Monday 4th October we celebrated St Francis Feast Day. We watched a video about St Francis, decorated and played with animals, used wooden blocks and Duplo to build churches and coloured in pictures of St Francis. A very busy and fun day!
