“Lord, make me an instrument of thy peace. Where there is hatred, let me sow love.” ― [Prayer attributed to] St. Francis of Assisi
On this day, we celebrate the Feast of Saint Francis, a saint known for his affection and love towards the creations of God. His life showcased simplicity and purpose to protect and love the things that roam our planet. With kindness and compassion, he showed every being the true love that welled in his heart. Through his works, the world was and is continually being encouraged to open their arms with warmth and peace.
Today, let us remember his legacy and thank him for spreading compassion to all creatures, whether it be big or small. May we strive to become stewards of Mother Nature, just as how he honored the lives of God’s creations. Let this be a reminder to practice tranquility and welcomeness to whoever may appear in front of us, and to be mindful of our actions. In doing so, let us appreciate the beauty of the world around us and strive to become instruments of peace.
