Have Pity:

O Holy Virgin, in the midst of your glorious days, do not forget the miseries of the world. Turn a look of kindness on those who are in suffering and who cease not to struggle against the misfortunes of life.

Knowing God:

The most meaningful way to live our daily life is to develop a personal relationship with the Lord. This relationship will deepen and become more intimate if we constantly find ways to love Him e.g. through opening our hearts to His Truth in creation, through The Word of God, the Church, and loving others in Christ-like ways.

================================================================

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace:
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
Where there is discord, harmony;
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;
Where there is sadness, joy.

- Peace Prayer of Saint Francis of Assisi (1182-1226, excerpt)

We adore you and we bless you, Lord Jesus Christ, here and in all the churches which are in the whole world, because by your holy cross you have redeemed the world.

- Saint Francis of Assisi (1182-1226)

Jesus is happy to come with us, as truth is happy to be spoken, as life to be lived, as light to be lit, as love is to be loved, as joy to be given, as peace to be spread.

- Saint Francis of Assisi (1181-1226)
