The Prayer of St. Francis: A Message of Peace for the World Today
Shows us how to live and pray in the spirit of Saint Francis. "Lord, make me an instrument of your peace. Where there is hatred let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon ... 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."

This famous and beloved prayer, traditionally attributed to Saint Francis, has traveled the world, winning hearts and inspiring minds with its unconditional love. As Leonardo Boff shows in his moving reflections, this love not only brings each person the promise of eternal salvation, but also provides the basis for social peace, redeems the world, and constitutes the hidden meaning of the universe.
