    • San Francesco: O Lord, make me an instrument of your peace. Where there is hatred, let me bring love. Where there is discord, let me bring harmony. Where there is pain, let me bring joy, and where there is despair, hope. O Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be loved as to love, and my all on earth learn the secret of your peace, which is the fruit of justice and brotherly love.

    • San Francesco: Hail, daughter and handmaid of our Heavenly Father, mother of our beloved Lord Jesus Christ, and spouse of the Holy Spirit.

    • San Francesco: It's better to preach by example than by words.
