Mystic Monday

Today has been a morning of making and changing appointments and trying to clean up messes and find lost things. I am in need of some inspiration from a simpler faith . . .


I call upon brother Francis to enlighten us today. He was known for his simplicity and his charity. He once said "Preach the gospel at all times; if necessary, use words."


Here is a wonderful poem that speaks of where my heart is today:

Most High,

glorious God,

enlighten the darkness of my heart

and give me true faith,

certain hope,

and perfect charity,

sense and knowledge,

Lord,

that I may carry out

Your holy and true command.

- Francis of Assisi
