Prayer of Saint Francis sung by Sarah McLachlan with lyrics and various photos.

Reflection on prayer:
* Matt 7:12 'So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets'
* Do I allow God to use me as an instrument of His peace?
* Are there classes of people or a particular person for which I need to sow love instead of hatred?
* Do I have someone I need to forgive that I feel has wronged me?
* Am I like St. Thomas, doubting what I believe until I have proof? Or do I have faith to believe although I don't understand?
* Do I despair over the trials in my life? Or do I focus more on the hope beyond the trials?
* Where there are situations of darkness or sadness do I help to shine Christ's light or bring joy?
* Am I more concerned about expressing my troubles to others than helping console someone with theirs?
* When I feel misunderstood, do I try harder to convince someone of my position or do I try to understand their position more?
* Do I seek for love and attention for myself before I give love and attention to others...especially my relatives, spouse, kids and friends?
* Am I more concerned about what I receive than what I give? In having someone tell me they are sorry before I tell them I am?
* Remembering the example of Christ, am I willing to die to myself by allowing God to use me as an instrument of His peace to be born to Eternal Life?

  • Do you happen to know anything about the photo at 0:56 (context, that is)?

  • @hallpriest9 No, unfortunately I don't. I had Googled to get pictures to include in the video when I put it together and found this picture, but didn't keep the source. I tried to Google it, but could not find it. Sorry....

  • Thank you so much for putting this video together. It's beautiful. I've seen quite a few of them, as I was looking for the one I liked best. Yours is the best.

    One thing confuses me though... As St. Francis was the patron St. of animals... I noticed that none of these videos have any animals in them, accept for this one and you only have one. Any reason? I would love to see one made with all animals. :-) Thank you again.

  • @ElricWinter I think it is because the prayer/song itself deals with being an instrument of the Lord's in our dealings with humans and the human condition. Good point, though... Did you see the birds in the picture in the initial frame of St. Francis? :)

  • I love this! I'm favoriting it!

  • What an amazing piece of art!! This was shared with me in a nursing class as a reflection. I was so moved I found this and posted it to my facebook page. This is my personal prayer. Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful song in such a visual way. You have a great talent.

  • Great video! The Prayer of St Francis is beautiful. Well done! St. Francis smiling to see this beautiful video with his animals around him.. God be with you always.

    I grow up watching it and still love it today . The series was amazing you learned thing's from it also when Angel/Angulles said in episode "Passion" season 2 "If we could live without passion maby wed know some kind of peace but we would be hollow , without passion wed be truely dead" which is completey true we would just be walking zombies without emotions . Lol soz i go on to much just Buffy is a wonderful program the music, the scores, the Quotes. xxxxx
