From St. Francis' Letter to the Entire Order:
For this, my brothers, has the Lord sent us into the whole world:
To testify by word and deed that He has spoken,
and to make known to all that He alone is almighty.
God our Father, you will all to be saved
and come to the knowledge of the truth.
Send workers into Your harvest
that the Gospel may be preached
to every creature,
and Your people,
gathered together by the Word of Life,
and strengthened by the sacraments
may advance in the way of salvation and love,
this we ask through Christ Our Lord.
Amen.
