List Line

Last line: 

the last line, summary of the entire prayer, that it is in dying to self that we are born to eternal life - and this is the crux of why we prayed earnestly for each previous aspect of the prayer. We have asked for ways to live past the point of ego so that we may be born, reborn really, into a life of spirit, beyond our smaller concerns, and fully engaged in the care of others. 

it's a beautiful way to end the prayer.

asking for our transformation.

so the truth is, we are not ego, it's an illusions of beliefs that has overly gained our attention. So the Prayer of Saint Francis is simply a reminder to return our focus to what we truly are and to live our life from there. This is a prayer that we continuously return to, a practice, and not one that we abandoned in our most difficult times. That's why it's framed in this way, listing the places we might find ourselves, feeling injured by our life's journey, alone in despair, without hope, and lost sadness. The divine Master that we're asked to turn to is our own highest order, God, synonymous with all abiding love. That's our healing source and it's how we heal the world.

past the ego that can be injured...

spirit's unharmed.

and it's there we continuously turn to.

an instrument of love.
