Oh Little Francis

 

Happy  Feast of St Francis Assisi 

Oh Francis, you sacrificed many things of this world, you embraced the way of littleness to approach eternal life! 

Oh, Little Francis

Oh! Little Francis 

The poorest of the poor 

You imitated Christ 

In everything you have done

You made an example 

To the young and old

You are the humblest servant 

Chosen by God, to serve the flocks of Christ

You left all the wealth of this world

To gain the wealth of Heaven

You poured out the charity 

On all the Creatures of God

Your love is inspiring 

Still in the hearts of millions

You were the channel of peace

Peace that the Lord has endeavoured 

Lord has given a key to you 

To open the hearts of the wearied souls

Help us to seek the life in holiness

The peace and joy in the Holy Spirit

You have loved the nature ardently

You praised God’s creations by giving Him thanks

You love peace among the nations

You never wants to be loved but to love all

When I Love Jesus

When I Love Jesus 

When I love Jesus my Lord,

He gives me tiny pains.

He protects me from becoming proud.

When I sin, He consoles me;

He leads me to ask His forgiveness,

He invites me to be reconciled.

When I am not loving Him,

He leads me to repent;

He invites me into His presence.

When I love Him,

He guides me into silence,

To speak to me in secret.

When I love Him,

He leads me to reflect upon Him,

He gives me endless hours to be with Him.

When I love Him,

He leads me to know Him more and more,

He reveals Himself to me.

When I love Him,

He does marvelous things for me,

His right arm embraces me.

When I love Him,

He leads me to glorify Him;

He guides me to praise Him.

When I love Him,

He makes me love others,

Even to love my enemies!

When I love Him,

He rejoices;

He starts speaking to me.

When I love Him,

He leads me towards others,

To know their misery and pain,

To counsel them in His Name.

When I love Him,

He does miracles,

Of which the most beautiful of all

Is His presence in the Holy Eucharist.

I love the Holy Mass;

When a Holy Priest sacrifices the Holy Eucharist.

Oh Jesus I love you in the form of the most tiny piece of Bread.

When I am hungry,

He feeds me

With His Word and the Word made flesh.

Lord, how can I make a return

For all these wonders of eternal wealth,

With which You have endowed me day after day?

Lord Jesus, I trust in You,

I thank you for all Your countless blessings,

With which You will continue to bless me,

Till the evening of my life!
