Francis of Assisi, the namesake of the college Saint Francis of Assisi by Jusepe de Ribera.jpg
Francis of Assisi, the namesake of the college

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.

Let me sow love where there is hatred. Where there is injury, pardon; where there is doubt, faith; there is hope where there is despair. Where there is darkness, there is light; there is joy where there is sadness.

O Divine Master, grant that I do not seek to be consoled as much as I seek to console; to be understood as much as I seek to understand; and to be loved as much as I seek to love. 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.
