Instruments of Peace: Saint Francis's Challenge to the Modern World

Posted on November 01 2024

In the grand tapestry of Christian thought, few threads are as golden and vibrant as the prayer of Saint Francis of Assisi: "LORD, make me an instrument of your peace." This prayer stands as a divine contradiction in our modern world—a holy absurdity that makes perfect sense only through Christianity's paradoxical wisdom that the last shall be first and that to die is to live. Consider the audacity of this prayer: here is a man asking not to be a master or even a servant, but an instrument—a vessel through which divine peace might flow into a world desperately in need of it. It's a request for holy objectification, a desire to be used utterly and completely for a purpose beyond oneself.
