A Prayer of St. Francis for Autism

Lord, let thy peace fill me up until I overflow;

That where people cannot speak,

I may be their advocate;

That where anyone is rejected,

I may extend my arms to welcome;

That where parents are heavy burdened,

I may offer a word of comfort;

That where our children struggle,

I may lift them up and cheer;

That where some see disability,

I may reveal to them extraordinary gifts;

That where others judge,

I may share with them my deep gladness;

And that where any are overlooked,

I may help the lights of all to shine.

O Giver of These Gifts;

Grant that I may not so much seek

to be reassured as to reassure;

To be praised, as to praise;

To be accepted, as to accept;

For it is in all our uncertainty

that we are inspired to hope;

It is in great challenges

that we discover our greatest joys;

And it is in our community of wanderers

that we find the way home.

Amen.
