The Story Behind the Peace Prayer of St. Francis

The Peace Prayer of St. Francis is a famous prayer which first appeared around
the year 1915 A.D., and which embodies the spirit of St. Francis of Assisi's
simplicity and poverty.
According to Father Kajetan Esser, OFM, the author of the critical edition of St.
Francis's Writings, the Peace prayer of St. Francis is most certainly not one of the
writings of St. Francis. This prayer, according to Father Schulz, Das sogennante
Franziskusgebet. Forshungen zur evangelishen Gebetslitteratur (III), in Jahrbuch fur Liturgik und
Hymnologic, 13 (1968), pp. 39-53, first appeared during the First World War. It was found written on
the observe of a holy card of St. Francis, which was found in a Normal Almanac. The prayer bore no
name; but in the English speaking world, on account of this holy card, it came to be called the Peace
Prayer of St. Francis.
The Peace Prayer of St. Francis

Where there is hatred,

Let me sow love;
Where there is injury, pardon;
Where there is error, truth;
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.

The Franciscan charism is a gift given to the Church through Francis and Clare of Assisi and their
followers. The Franciscan life includes elements from both monastic and apostolic religious life,
but has its uniqueness. The emphasis is on neither a common place centered on contemplation and the
praise of God, nor on a common task centered on the concrete mission of service to the Church and world.
It is rather on a common heart: a prophetic witness to Christ and the whole of his gospel.
Francis and Clare's life for the church is a call acknowledging the primacy of Christ with all its implications for
a radical way of thinking. Their ability to read the signs of the times challenged them to embrace
courageously a new worldview, giving birth to an evangelical movement for the enlivening of the Church.
