Bull of canonization by Pope Gregory IX
Prayer St. Francis asked that people pray the following:
"We adore thee, most Holy Lord Jesus Christ, here and in all the churches that are in the whole world, and we bless thee; because by thy Holy Cross thou hast redeemed the world."
St. Francis also was noted as saying the following, "What a man is in the sight of God, so much he is and no more." It is the cross that reveals how much man is in the sight of God. The true value of life is seen in the wounds of Christ. The cross is the measure of the world, the measure of man. Christ crucified is love personified. Francis was a lover of love itself as seen in Christ.
St. Francis of Assisi pray for us.
