The Story Behind the Peace Prayer of St. Francis

The Peace Prayer of St. Francis is a famous prayer which first appeared around
the year 1915 A.D., and which embodies the spirit of St. Francis of Assisi's
simplicity and poverty.
According to Father Kajetan Esser, OFM, the author of the critical edition of St.
Francis's Writings, the Peace prayer of St. Francis is most certainly not one of the
writings of St. Francis. This prayer, according to Father Schulz, Das sogennante
Franziskusgebet. Forshungen zur evangelishen Gebetslitteratur (III), in Jahrbuch fur Liturgik und
Hymnologic, 13 (1968), pp. 39-53, first appeared during the First World War. It was found written on
the observe of a holy card of St. Francis, which was found in a Normal Almanac. The prayer bore no
name; but in the English speaking world, on account of this holy card, it came to be called the Peace
Prayer of St. Francis.
The Peace Prayer of St. Francis

Where there is hatred,

Let me sow love;
Where there is injury, pardon;
Where there is error, truth;
Where there is doubt, Faith;
Where there is despair, hope;
Where there is darkness, light;
And 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,
And it is in dying that we are born to
eternal life.

The Franciscan charism is a gift given to the Church through Francis and Clare of Assisi and their
followers. The Franciscan life includes elements from both monastic and apostolic religious life,
but has its uniqueness. The emphasis is on neither a common place centered on contemplation and the
praise of God, nor on a common task centered on the concrete mission of service to the Church and world.
It is rather on a common heart: a prophetic witness to Christ and the whole of his gospel.
Francis and Clare's life for the church is a call acknowledging the primacy of Christ with all its implications for
a radical way of thinking. Their ability to read the signs of the times challenged them to embrace
courageously a new worldview, giving birth to an evangelical movement for the enlivening of the Church.

A Message from the Director Immigration Education

The Faith in Action Ministry has great
news to report. Our economic
development project with the
Apaches at San Carlos and
Whiteriver was awarded a grant
from the Catholic Campaign for Human
Development-local office. This department of
the United States Conference of Catholic
Bishops funds community organizing and
economic development projects. The Apache
Fair Trade Crafting Co-op (AFTCO) was
awarded $5,000 to carry out a feasibility study
and write a business plan in order to grow the
fair-trade business and put it more directly in
the hands of Apaches. Doing the feasibility
study and writing the business plan are
important steps as it sets forth the strategic plan
for this economic venture.
In addition a lawyer has been working pro-
bono for us to draw up the papers so they can
file as a separate non-profit organization. Up to
this time AFTCO has been working under the
guidance of the missions at San Carlos and
Whiteriver and the FRC. Getting their own
501c3 status allows the group to apply for other
grants. All who are involved in this project feel
blessed by God for the wondrous things that
have happened over the last 2 years. Please
keep this venture in your prayers.
Follow-up Session
At the conclusion of the Immigration
Education session on June 6th, we stated
that we would hold a second session for
those who want to talk more about the
issue. Join the Faith in Action ministry for our
Conversations on Immigration
Thursday, July 15, 2010 at 7:00pm
In Serra in Piper Hall
This will be a time for small group discussion
and large group feedback. We especially
want to invite those who came to the first
immigration session, as the foundation for
discussion has been laid. However, all are
welcome to attend this event.
Remember, the next JustFaith class will start mid
-September. I am collecting the names of
interested people at this time. I will hold an
orientation/discernment meeting at the end of
August. If you have not yet indicated your
interest, please send me an e-mail at
