October 4 ~ St. Francis of Assisi, Respect Life Month

CHARITY is a merciful Saviour

“I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord God, “who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty.”  ~ Revelation 1:8

You are holy, LORD, the only God, and your deeds are wonderful.

You are strong.  You are great.  You are the Most High, You are almighty.  You, holy Father, are King of heaven and earth.

You are Three and One, Lord God, all good.  You are Good, all Good, supreme Good, Lord God, living and true.

You are love, You are wisdom.  You are humility, You are endurance.  You are rest, You are peace.  You are joy and gladness.  You are justice and moderation.  You are all our riches,
And you suffice for us.

You are beauty.  You are gentleness.  You are our protector, You are our guardian and defender.  You are courage.  You are our haven and our hope.

You are our faith, Our great consolation.  You are our eternal life, Great and wonderful LORD, God almighty, Merciful Saviour. 
~ St. Francis of Assisi, Patron Saint of the State of Colorado

Leave me, brother, to rejoice in the LORD, for… I can well be merry in the Most High. 
~ St. Francis of Assisi, on his deathbed, when reproved for singing
