Prayer to St. Francis of Assisi

Ask the Poverello for a heart poor in spirit and rich in love of Christ crucified.

The Prayer

O beloved Saint Francis, who didst love poverty and the Cross of Christ with so great a love, obtain for me a spirit of detachment from earthly things and a tender devotion to the Passion of Jesus. Help me to love God above all, and my neighbor as myself. Amen.
