Pray For God's Mercy

Enlightened by the Holy Spirit through a prophetic spirit, Francis saw the great things God was going to accomplish through him and his Order. But when he considered how inadequate he was and how meager was his virtue, he cried out in prayer to God that in His mercy, without which human frailty can do nothing, He would supply, help, and fill up what was lacking in Francis.
