We can learn a great deal about the resurrection of Jesus from the wisdom of our saints. Although most of these faith heroes lived many years ago, their words are still true today.
St. Francis of Assisi
Let every creature
in heaven, on earth
in the sea and in the depths,
give praise, glory, honor, and blessing to Him
who suffered so much for us,
who has given so many good things,
and Who will continue to do so for the future.
For He is our power and strength,
He Who alone is good
Who is most high,
Who is all-powerful, admirable, and glorious;
Who alone is holy, praiseworthy, and blessed throughout endless ages.
Amen
- from one of St. Francis' Letters to the Faithful
St. Francis' Prayer Before the Crucifix
Most high,
glorious God,
enlighten the darkness of my heart
and give me, Lord,
a correct faith,
a certain hope,
a perfect charity,
sense and knowledge,
so that I may carry out Your holy and true command.
