go in peace.
He will walk in your shadow,
while you sleep, he is at your side.
He will be with you,

Most High, Glorious God,
enlighten the darkness of my heart
and give me
true faith,
certain hope,
and perfect charity,
sense and knowledge,
Lord,
that I may carry out
Your holy and true command.
The Prayer before the Crucifix
18. "But how happy and blessed are those who love God and do as the Lord Himself says in the Gospel: You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and all your mind, and your neighbor as yourself.
19. Let us love God, therefore, and adore Him with a pure heart and a pure mind, because He Who seeks this above all things has said: True adorers adore the Father in Spirit and Truth.
20. For all who adore Him must adore Him in the Spirit of truth".
Francis to the faithful
25. "In addition, let us produce worthy fruits of penance.
26. And let us love our neighbors as ourselves.
27. And if anyone does not want to love them as himself, let him at least not do them any harm, but let him do good.
28. Let whoever has received the power of judging others pass judgment with mercy, as they would wish to receive mercy from the Lord.
29. For judgment will be without mercy for those who have not shown mercy.
30. Let us, therefore, have charity and humility and give alms because it washes the stains of our sins from our souls".
Francis to the faithful
40. We must also deny ourselves and place our bodies under the yoke of servitude and holt' obedience as each one has promised to the Lord.
41. And let no one be bound to obey another in anything in which a crime or sin would be committed.
42. Instead, let the one to whom obedience has been entrusted and who is considered the greater be the lessen and the servant of the other brothers.
43. And let him have and show mercy to each of his brothers as he would want them to do to him were he in a similar position.
44. Let him not become angry at the fault of a brother but, with all patience and humility, let him admonish and support him.
45. We must not be wise and prudent according to the flesh, but, instead, we must be simple, humble and pure.
Francis to the faithful
47. "We must never desire to be above others, but, instead, we must be servants and subject to every human creature for God's sake.
48. And the Spirit of the Lord will rest upon all those men and women who have done and persevered in these things and It will make a home and dwelling place in them.
49. And they will be the children of the heavenly Father, Whose works they do.
50. And they are spouses, brothers and mothers of our Lord Jesus Christ.
51. We are spouses when the faithful soul is united by the Holy Spirit to our Lord Jesus Christ.
52. We are brothers, moreover, when we do the will of His Father Who is in heaven;
53. mothers when we carry Him in our heart and body through love and a pure and sincere conscience; and give Him birth through a holy activity, which must shine before others by example".
Francis to the faithful
