Grant Me The Treasure Of Sublime Poverty.

It Was Easy To Love God In All That Was Beautiful. The Lessons Of Deeper Knowledge, Though, Instructed Me To Embrace God In All Things.

By The Anxieties And Worries Of This Life Satan Tries To Dull Man's Heart And Make A Dwelling For Himself There.

It Is No Use Walking Anywhere To Preach Unless Our Walking Is Our Preaching.

Pleased Be You, My Lord, With All Your Creatures, Especially Sir Brother Sun, Who Is The Day And Through Whom You Give Us Light. And He Is Beautiful And Radiant With Great Splendours And Bears Likeness Of You, Most High One.

Where There Is Love And Wisdom, There Is Neither Fear Nor Ignorance. Where There Is Patience And Humility, There Is Neither Anger Nor Annoyance. Where There Is Poverty And Joy, There Is Neither Cupidity Nor Avarice. Where There Is Peace And Contemplation, There Is Neither Care Nor Restlessness. Where There Is The Fear Of God To Guard The Dwelling, There No Enemy Can Enter. Where There Is Mercy And Prudence, There Is Neither Excess Nor Harshness.
