The Anglican Rosary

Contrary to popular legend the ‘Peace Prayer of St Francis’ was not not actually written by St Francis. However, because it embodies much of St Francis’ teaching it became attriubuted to him, though the actuall author is not known. What is known is that this prayer like many prayers for peace were inspired by the life of this holy man from Assisi. The following prayer was also inspired not only by Francis’ life but the peace prayer attributed to him.
