Photographer’s Note

Image of Saint Francis of Assisi, the patron saint of the animals and the natural environment, placed beside the spring of the river named after him.

Transcription of the Prayer of Saint Francis of Assisi, written on the sign:

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
where there is injury, pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
and where there is sadness, joy.

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