Scott WeemanHOST
Then he did something I never expected.
Scott WeemanHOST
He asked me the name of my patron saint, and when I said Saint Francis of Assisi, he sent me home to find the prayer of Saint Francis.
Scott WeemanHOST
My mother handed me her copy that night, and on the same balcony where I had once cursed God, I prayed it over and over until midnight.
Scott WeemanHOST
For the first time in my life, I truly prayed.
Samantha HarteHOST
Mm.
Samantha HarteHOST
Well, AA very much tries to remind the addict that God is whatever you want it to be, but it contradicts itself because then it says Him, because then it has you recite the Lord's Prayer and the St. Francis Prayer.
Samantha HarteHOST
Feels and smells a lot like Christianity, and if you had a punishing Christian God, you're damn right you're not gonna wanna work this step as written.
Samantha HarteHOST
Mm.
Buddy CHOST
I choose to be considerate over judgmental.
Buddy CHOST
Reminds me of the St. Francis Prayer, page 99 in the 12 and 12.
Buddy CHOST
We have a version.
Buddy CHOST
Lord, make me a channel of thy peace, that where there's hatred, I may bring love.
Peter George FlynnHOST
W2 two wings on a bird.
Peter George FlynnHOST
And I will begin this hour as I usually like to do with the prayer of St. Francis before the crucifix.
Peter George FlynnHOST
Most high glorious God, enlighten the darkness of my mind and give to me true faith, certain hope, perfect charity, sense and a knowledge Lord that I may carry out your holy and true command.
Peter George FlynnHOST
And since I am going to be speaking about the rosary and Frank Duff, I will also ask for the inspiration of the Holy Spirit with the version of the Come Holy Spirit prayer prayed before the rosary at the Legion of Mary.
Jason CokerHOST
Have you noticed this? We ask you to stand, kind of like Ezra, and we all pray some version of the same prayer virtually every week.
Jason CokerHOST
Whether it's the Lord's Prayer explicitly, or it is, uh, uh, Christ Our Liberator, which we prayed today, or it's the Prayer of Saint Francis, these are all versions, essentially, of the Lord's Prayer.
Jason CokerHOST
And that prayer sort of invokes a kind of memory, and that's exactly what's happening in this passage.
Jason CokerHOST
What's happening here is that Ezra is inviting people into a prayer that helps them remember who they are.
Wayne DyerSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
The instant that you put something into your body and hold it close to it, the moment that you move into the energy field of someone who is negative, and I'll be speaking more about this tomorrow afternoon and doing a little bit more of, of demonstration on it, that everything in this universe is an energy.
Wayne DyerSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
I have the Prayer of St. Francis on a, uh, and which I'll re- be reciting tomorrow, and Sky will sing for you tomorrow, on a, uh, on a card that is, um, produced by a woman who lives in a wheelchair.
Wayne DyerSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
And also ...
Wayne DyerSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
And wh- And all it takes is to have, to be in the energy field.
Wayne DyerSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
And you stick this on there, and you l- And, you know, your children just have to walk by these words, and the energy, it touches and i- impacts them, just like the music, the CD, even carrying it around.
Wayne DyerSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
It's why I knew that Sky's CD would strengthen rather than weaken.
Wayne DyerSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
You can take the Prayer of St. Francis, which she sings on there, put that on your, in your car, and play it in a moment of frustration or anguish in a, in, in traffic, and you know what? You can move the traffic.
Wayne DyerSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
I know you laugh, and you think that that kind of thing is impossible.

I can't help but on this day that we remember and honor St. Francis to think that just maybe Francis is the saint for this moment, the saint for our time, a saint for us to hold on to and live into this deep wisdom.

Our choir anthem in just a few moments will be this prayer of St. Francis sung.
speaker_0UNKNOWN
And as the choir prays this in song, I invite you to just meditate and think about these words and how we as individuals, we as households, we as communities, churches can live just a hint more of what Francis held up, simplicity, service, prayer, love, compassion, and recognizing that we are connected one with another and with all of God's creation.

If even just a little bit of this light can shine more brightly in the coming days, as Louis Armstrong sang, "I think to myself, what a wonderful world." Amen.
Julie EtchinghamHOST
And just briefly from both of you, what message will you be sending to your parishioners with this in mind this Sunday morning?
John McDowellSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
We have asked our congregations and our parishes to say the prayer of St Francis for peace, just to try to encourage people to pause and to think that what can I do to contribute to a little half inch forward in terms of peacemaking, whether it's on the Gravattie Road or whether it's anywhere in Northern Ireland.
Julie EtchinghamHOST
And Archbishop Martin.
Eamon MartinSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
And particularly with regard to that beautiful prayer that's associated with St Francis, you know those lines where it says, Lord, grant that I may not try so much to be understood as to understand.
