A Prayer from the Lover of Poverty...St. Francis

Let us desire nothing else

let us wish for nothing else

let nothing else please us and cause us delight

except our Creator and Redeemer and Saviour,

the One True God, Who is the Fullness of Good,
all good, every good, the true and supreme Good;
Let nothing hinder us,
nothing separate us or nothing come between us.

May the power of your love O Lord, fiery and sweet as honey,
wean my heart from all that is under heaven,
so that I may die for love of your love,
You who were so good as to die for love of my love. Amen
