Most high, omnipotent, good Lord, grant unto thy people grace to renounce gladly the vanities of this world; that, following the way of blessed Francis, we may for love of thee delight in thy whole creation with perfectness of joy; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.
Today is the feast day of St Francis of Assisi.
This window in the Abbey's cloisters shows Francis standing in an Italian landscape surrounded by birds. The window is dedicated to Robinson Duckworth, a former Sub-Dean of the Abbey, who died in 1911. pic.twitter.com/m6RwIDfOlj
