Dear Francesco di Bernardone, I have loved you since I was a child. It is said that your love of God was a flame that consumed you. It is no surprise that a love as great as yours extended not only to your fellow human beings, but to the birds and fish and the wolf of Gubbio, to Brother Sun and Sister Moon, to water and fire and the humble soil.
Help us to love Lady Poverty as you did, and the spirit of peace, so that we might also follow Christ in a spirit of humility and reconciliation and bring His love to the whole world.
