Prayer Of Saint Francis Of Assisi

6" x 6" acrylic on 3/16" wood panel SOLD

    Prayer of Saint Francis of Assisi

Lord, make me an instrument of your 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.

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.

Amen.

This is my favorite saint because he is known as the garden saint. He preached to man and all animals the universal duty to praise God, protect and enjoy nature.

Let My Love Open The Door

6" x 6" acrylic on 3/16" wood panel

The garden gate is the "door to my heart". In addition to painting, I am an avid gardener. Pete Townshend's "Let My Love Open The Door" song was an inspiration for this piece. I have been wanting to paint this scene and others like it since our trip to see the gardens in Victoria, B.C. Canada.
