Although this song is popularly known as ‘The Prayer of Saint Francis’, it is highly probable that the beloved saint had nothing to do with it. Its first documented appearance was only in 1912, when it was published in a French Catholic journal. However, even if the beautiful text might not have been written by Saint Francis, it embodies the spirit of his charity and simplicity. And its meaning remains relevant to our times. As the world continues to battle the darkness that is COVID-19, let us pray to be instruments of God’s love and forgiveness. May this song guide us in living our lives today.
‘‘All the darkness in the world cannot extinguish the light of a single candle.’’ — St. Francis of Assisi
