Novena to Saint Francis of Assisi - Day 2

Hear me O Lord, and have pity on me.

Prayer: Father in heaven, your love for us never falters in spite of our transgressions and failures. Please show your mercy for me in my difficulty (mention the request). Through the intercession of St. Francis and for the sake of Christ, our Savior, have pity on me. Amen.

Your offering today: See the suffering Christ in someone around you.

Prayer of Peace:  

Lord, make me an instrument of peace;
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
Where there is injury, pardon;
Where there is doubt, faith;
Where there is despair, hope;
Where there is darkness, light;
And where there is sadness, joy.
O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console;
to be understood, as to understand;
to be loved, as to love.

For it is in giving that we receive;
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned.
and it is in dying that we are born to
eternal life.
