Oh, Gracious God, You have given the Church the example of St. Francis of Assisi today on his Memorial, to remind us of his dedication to You and the Church.
Give me the grace today to take his example of living a simple life. May I follow You with my whole heart, appreciating the simple things in life, taking time to appreciate my family, and my environment. Thank you for the gifts You have blessed me with. I ask this in the name of Jesus Christ, my Lord and Savior.
Amen.
