Prayer: Embracing Humility and Service

📖 Introduction

Prayer is one of the most profound ways we connect with God, express our deepest desires, and align our lives with His will. Among the many prayers that have inspired believers throughout history, St. Francis of Assisi’s Prayer – often called the "Prayer of Peace" – stands out as a timeless guide toward humility and service.

This prayer invites us to become instruments of God’s peace. It challenges us to focus less on ourselves and more on others – to seek not to be consoled, but to console, not to be understood, but to understand. This shift embodies humility, where ego and pride give way to genuine love and compassionate action.
