If you're thinking of the lovely "Father, make me an instrument of your
peace", I feel compelled to mention that it has been found to have been
misattributed to St. Francis. It was written by an anonymous follower of
his, but not by Francis himself. Francis did, however, write the equally
lovely and inspiring "Canticle of the Creatures" which, among other
things, gave Franco Zeffirelli the title for his musical film about St.
Francis.
