Bring the timeless beauty of faith and devotion into your stitching with the Franciscan Prayer Sampler from Dirty Annie's Southern Style. This exquisite sampler features the beloved Vocation Prayer of St. Francis of Assisi, accompanied by symbolic imagery deeply rooted in Franciscan tradition.

The design includes:
St. Francis of Assisi, depicted as a humble gray friar with his faithful animal companions.
A Franciscan Crown Rosary (also known as the Seraphic Rosary) with its seven decades, honoring the Seven Joys of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
A flourishing olive tree, a universal symbol of peace and a reference to the Franciscan mission.
A skull, representing Memento Mori-a reminder of our mortality and the call to live a holy life.

The prayer, stitched in rich red lettering, reads: "Most High Glorious God enlighten the darkness of my heart and give me true faith, certain hope, and perfect charity, sense and knowledge, Lord, that I may carry out Your holy and true command."
