In my post about Adoration earlier this week, I quoted St. Francis of Assisi - "most high, glorious God, illumine the darkness of my heart." Those words are actually from a prayer St. Francis said before the crucifix at San Damiano.
*Note, this is "a" prayer of St. Francis - not what most of us know as "the" prayer of St. Francis ("Lord, make me an instrument of your peace...")
This simple, beautiful prayer has been on my mind all week, and I feel compelled to share it this evening.

Most high, glorious God,
illumine the darkness of my heart
and give me Lord,
true faith,
certain hope,
perfect charity,
and profound humility.
Grant me, O Lord,
sense and wisdom,
to fulfill your true and holy will.
Amen.
