This St. Francis statue is 12 inches tall. It stands on a sturdy base. It is made of resin and stone. It comes from Christian Brands. On St. Francis' clothes is engraved the St. Francis prayer: Lord, make me an instrument of your peace. Where there is hatred, let me sow love; Where there is injury, pardon; Where there is doubt, faith; Where there is despair, hope; Where there is darkness, light; Where there is sadness, joy. This statue shows him with birds on his arms and shoulders, and a deer is peeking from around his back, looking up at him.

St. Francis founded the Franciscan order. He was particularly renowned for his love of nature and animals. They reminded him of God's goodness in all parts of His creation. They loved him because of his gentleness towards him.
