Prayer Mondays: St. Francis’s “Make Me an Instrument”

Barring my faulty memory (and if I’m not lazy) I want to post prayers on Monday from all over Church History and then throughout the modern day, and then my own. This one comes from St. Francis of Assisi and is called “Make Me An Instrument of Peace”

Prayer Mondays: Julia Ward Howe

Barring my faulty memory (and if I’m not lazy) I want to post prayers on Monday from all over Church History and then throughout the modern day, and then my own. This one isn’t so much a prayer as a call to action written in 1862 by then abolitionist and later pacifist and suffragette Julia Ward Howe. But it does make a nice prayer.

Prayer Mondays: Tobit

Barring my faulty memory (and if I’m not lazy) I want to post prayers on Monday from all over Church History and then throughout the modern day, and then my own. This one doesn’t come from history, per se, but rather from the fictional book of Tobit. It isn’t Scripture (though Rome and the East say otherwise) but it does have a really nice prayer in it that I think we can Amen (at least most of it). It comes from chapter 13.
