The Band of Brothers fans will hear this one. My aunt was a devout Catholic and had St. Francis' statue in her garden. As an animal lover, I've always felt close to the mission of St. Francis--even as a Presbyterian. Anyways, the portion of the prayer I love the most is:

"O God, 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 with my whole heart"

Yes! I love St. Francis as well. It was kind of a beautiful thing to have had a Pope Francis who reminded me of the goodness of St. Francis of Assisi. Have you heard the Sarah Mclachlan version of the prayer? My favorite!
