"St Francis in Meditation" - Michaelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio
A blessing of St Francis of Assisi
Whoever shall observe these things
may he be filled in heaven with the blessing of the most high Father,
and may he be filled on earth with the blessing of his beloved son,
together with the Holy Spirit, the Consoler,
and all the powers of heaven and all the saints.
And I, brother Francis, your worthless servant, as far as I am able,
approve this most holy blessing both internally and externally,
AMEN
