Reflections on the Peace Prayer of Saint Francis of Assisi

Author : Lisa M. Hendey

Book Review - Reflections on the Peace Prayer of Saint Francis
of Assisi By Albert Haase Reviewed by Lisa M. Hendey

Certain inspirational sayings and prayers transcend
denominational lines, becoming part of the fabric of faith and
inspiration for masses of believers seeking solace or comfort in
difficult times. In Reflections on the Peace Prayer of Saint
Francis of Assisi (Saint Anthony Messenger Press & Franciscan
Communications, September 2004, paperback 84 pages) author
Albert Haase, O.F.M. dissects the classic “Peace Prayer” which
is attributed to St. Francis of Assisi. In his enlightening
introduction, Haase offers a brief history of the prayer, noting
that it has been embraced by as a “prayer for all times and all
peoples”, having been used by such notables as Margaret Thatcher
at her inauguration and at the funerals of Mother Teresa of
Calcutta and Diana, Princess of Wales.

Given today’s climate of political upheaval and war in so many
areas of our world, contemplation of the Peace Prayer seems to
be even more relevant than ever. This compact, twelve chapter
book examines each phrase of the prayer in detail. Personal
reflections and stories of individuals living out the aspects of
the Prayer are offered and draw the reader into a closer
understanding of what is meant by each simple expression. Each
chapter ends with four reflective questions for individual or
group consideration.

For individuals looking to truly live out the concept “Lord,
make me an instrument of your peace”, Albert Haase’s book will
become a treasured resource and invaluable prompt to both prayer
and action. Groups looking for a concise study should enjoy
gathering to read and contemplate the book as they examine how
to become peacemakers in their own communities and in the world
at large.
