Notre Dame High School, San Jose

Saturday, October 4 is the Feast Day of Saint Francis de Assisi. Saint Francis was known for his charity, evangelical poverty, and devotion. He is also the founder of the Franciscan Order and is recognized as the patron saint of animals. Tomorrow, we celebrate his feast day (and Notre Dame Hallmark 3!) with a visit from Animal Assisted Happiness, a local nonprofit organization that enriches the lives of youth with needs through barnyard animal interactions.

The following is the Prayer of Saint Francis, a well-known prayer for peace.

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,
and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.
Amen.
