Most High, Glorious God,
cast your light
into the darkness of my heart.
Give me, Lord
right faith,
firm hope,
perfect charity
and profound humility,
with wisdom and perception,
so that I may carry out
what is truly your holy will.
Amen.
There are many devotions associated with the Franciscan family:
The San Damiano Cross
This Cross is now seen in many Franciscan Churches. It is an Icon of the Risen Lord with many small icons incorporated on the arms which depicts different scenes from the Passion.
During the Middle Ages this was a very popular devotion and this was the Cross in front of which St. Francis was praying when he heard the words “Go Francis rebuild my Church”. St. Clare who lived out her life in San Damiano would have prayed before this Icon.
