O Beloved Saint Francis,

gentle and poor,

your obedience to God,

and your simple,

deep love for all God’s creatures

led you to the heights of heavenly perfection

and turned many hearts to follow God’s will.

Now in our day,

in our ministry to the many

who come here searching for peace

and intercede for us

we come before the Lord with our special requests...


(Mention your special intentions here...)


O Blessed Saint of God,

from your throne among the hosts of heaven,

present our petitions before our faithful Lord.

May your prayers on our behalf be heard

and may God grant us the grace

to lead good and faithrful lives.


Amen


Saint Francis of Assisi, pray for us.
