Give to someone…
It would be considered a theft on our part if we didn’t give to someone in greater need than we are.
–Saint Francis of Assisi (1181 – 1226)
Hold back nothing…
Hold back nothing of yourselves for yourselves so that He who gives Himself totally to you may receive you totally.
–Saint Francis of Assisi (1181–1226)
Every sorrow and pain…
When I think of the happiness that is in store for me, every sorrow, every pain becomes dear to me.
–Saint Francis of Assisi (1181–1226)
Alert to the devil…
We need to be especially alert to the evil subtlety of Satan. His one desire is to keep people from having a mind and heart disposed to their Lord and God…He wants to extinguish the light of the human heart, and so he moves in by means of worldly busyness and worry.
–Saint Francis of Assisi (1181–1226)
Pure heart and chaste body…
God wishes all of us to be saved through Jesus Christ the Son and to receive him with our pure heart and a chaste body.
–Saint Francis of Assisi (1181–1226)
Temptations and trials…
No one ought to consider himself a true servant of God who is not tried by means of temptations and trials.
–Saint Francis of Assisi (1181 – 1226)
