Guest guest Posted August 15, 2004 Report Share Posted August 15, 2004 Yes, Yosy, it is... "The simple prayer of St. Francis of Assisi provides for us a mold in which to cast our own life's conduct and character. It provides a blueprint upon which to pattern our living in our thoughts, speech and actions within our day to day relationships with our fellow beings and with all life around us. Therefore, the prayer of St. Francis is a precious document for us, an indispensable, invaluable frame of reference by which to judge our own lives, and referring to which we can do the necessary to bring about the needed alterations and modifications for the upliftment and purification of our own daily life." - Sri Swami Chidananda http://www.dlshq.org/saints/francis.htm a short bio on another site... http://www.catholic-forum.com/saints/saintf01.htm and this one to the prayer itself... http://www.catholic-forum.com/saints/pray0027.htm Love, Joyce PS You are welcome :-) - "Yosy Flug" <yosyflug <> Sunday, August 15, 2004 7:56 AM RE: Prayer of Saint Francis > oh yes... > did not know this well known prayer is attributed to the beloved saint > francis...
