Prayer of Saint Francis
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; 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.Amen.
Oaks of St. Francis Priests' Retirement Community
After a lifetime of ministry, some retired priests may look forward to living their retirement years in a supportive rural environment that allows for new opportunities to serve. Oaks of St. Francis will provide a warm and comfortable home for retired priests while allowing them to still engage in ministry with their visitors or groups at Cathedral Oaks Worship & Retreat Center next door.
Located in Weimar, Oaks of St. Francis Priests' Retirement Community is just 30 minutes from Columbus Community Hospital, Golf Course, and more.
