Francis of Assisi God Quotations

If God can work through me, he can work through anyone.

I have been all things unholy. If God can work through me, he can work through anyone.

It is not fitting, when one is in God's service, to have a gloomy face or a chilling look.

When we pray to God we must be seeking nothing - nothing.

It was easy to love God in all that was beautiful. The lessons of deeper knowledge, though, instructed me to embrace God in all things.

Nothing can tend so much to humble us before the mercy and justice of God as the consideration of His benefits and our own sins. Let us, then, consider what He has done for us, and what we have done against Him; let us call to mind our sins in detail, and His gracious benefits in like manner, remembering that whatever there is of good in us is not ours, but His, and then we need not be afraid of vainglory or of taking complacency in ourselves...

Study always to have Joy, for it befits not the servant of God to show before his brother or another sadness or a troubled face.

You damned spirits! You can only do what the hand of God allows you to do.

Dear God, please reveal to us your sublime beauty, that is everywhere, everywhere, everywhere, so that we will never again feel frightened.
