Saint Francis of Assisi's Sympathy Poems and Verses

• Gentle Death By Saint Francis Of Assisi

  And thou, most kind and gentle death,
  Waiting to hush our latest breath;
  O Praise Him-Alleluia!
  Thou leadest home the child of God
  And Christ our Lord the way hath trod.

• O Divine Master By Saint Francis Of Assisi

  O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled, as to
  console; to be understood as to understand; to be loved, as to love;
  For it is in giving that we receive; it is in pardoning that we are pardoned; and it is
  in dying that we are born to eternal life.
  Saint Francis
