Prayer to St. Francis of Paola

O most holy Saint Francis,
God gives wisdom to the simple
and makes the merest child wise.
Pray that He grants me this reward
He promises to the humble through your intercession.
Help me always to make a good examination of conscience and confession.

Amen.


PRAYER TO ST. FRANCIS

Saint Francis, the closer you grew to God, the more radical your daily life became. Your radical life became your ordinary way to holiness. Please pray for me that I may live a life so completely given over to God that this total self-giving becomes my ordinary way of life. Saint Francis of Paola, pray for me.
