O image of Christ,
simple, humble, and pure,
indeed you bore the marks of Jesus
in your own body
and in your own soul;
wed to lady poverty,
you embraced loving chastity
and boasted of nothing
but the Lord alone –
pray, dear brother,
for all children of God,
for all your wayward brothers
distracted by the wealth of this world,
that we may be so blessed by the Spirit
to serve the Lord and our neighbor
as completely as you have done.
May our lives, too, be prayers
rising as a fragrant offering
unto the Lord our God
as we reflect His image in this world.
Pray our hearts be set upon Jesus
that we might follow
in His blood-soaked footsteps in joy.
