Frasi di Francesco d'Assisi

San Francesco d'Assisi, nato Giovanni di Pietro Bernardone , è stato un religioso e poeta italiano.

Diacono e fondatore dell'ordine che da lui poi prese il nome, è venerato come santo dalla Chiesa cattolica. Il 4 ottobre ne viene celebrata la memoria liturgica in tutta la Chiesa cattolica . È stato proclamato, assieme a santa Caterina da Siena, patrono principale d'Italia il 18 giugno 1939 da papa Pio XII.

Conosciuto anche come "il poverello d'Assisi", la sua tomba è meta di pellegrinaggio per centinaia di migliaia di devoti, pellegrini e ammiratori ogni anno. La città di Assisi, a motivo del suo illustre cittadino, è assurta a simbolo di pace, soprattutto dopo aver ospitato i tre grandi incontri tra gli esponenti delle maggiori religioni del mondo, promossi da papa Giovanni Paolo II nel 1986 e nel 2002, e da papa Benedetto XVI nel 2011. San Francesco d'Assisi è uno dei santi più popolari e venerati del mondo.

Oltre all'opera spirituale, Francesco, grazie al Cantico delle creature, è riconosciuto come uno degli iniziatori della tradizione letteraria italiana.

Il cardinale Jorge Mario Bergoglio, eletto papa nel conclave del 2013, ha assunto il nome pontificale di Francesco in onore del santo di Assisi, primo nella storia della chiesa.

Francesco d'Assisi Frasi e Citazioni

“Come un cadavere.”

citato in Giuseppe Fumagalli, Chi l'ha detto?, Hoepli, 1921, p. 585

Francesco d'Assisi: Frasi in inglese

“Lord, make me an instrument of Thy 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;
It is in dying to self that we are born to Eternal Life.
Amen.”

Widely known as The Prayer of St. Francis, it is not found in Esser's authoritative collection of Francis's writings.
[Fr. Kajetan, Esser, OFM, ed., Opuscula Sancti Patris Francisci Assisiensis, Rome, Grottaferrata, 1978]. Additionally there is no record of this prayer before the twentieth century.
[Fr. Regis J., Armstrong, OFM, Francis and Clare: The Complete Works, New York, Paulist Press, 1982, 10, 0-8091-2446-7]. Dr. Christian Renoux of the University of Orleans in France traces the origin of the prayer to an anonymous 1912 contributor to La Clochette, a publication of the Holy Mass League in Paris. It was not until 1927 that it was attributed to St. Francis.
