“Glorious Saint Francis, saint of simplicity, love and joy, who in heaven contemplate the infinite perfections of God, cast your eyes full of goodness upon us. Help us in our spiritual and bodily needs. Pray to our Father and Creator to grant us the graces we ask for through your intercession, you who have always been such a friend of him. And inflame our hearts with ever greater love for God and for our brothers and sisters, especially those most in need. Saint Francis of Assisi, pray for us. Amen."
