I have been painting for some nuns and we got to talkin about Street people yesterday. And it brought to mind this prayer and that's why I'm here today. What a wonderful way of presenting the 11th step and the Saint Francis prayer! Many many years ago in 1986 my sponsor said go up and get you a desire chip if you want one. So I was eager to do anything they told me to do because I didn't want to ever have to shoot up methamphetamine again. So I get this chip and on one side of it it says to thine own self be true. I said doesn't that contradict everything the program stands for and he said no because to thine own self be true translated means think more of others than yourself. And then he laughed and said all good spiritual things are a paradox! He passed away with 28 years sober forever miss Eddy k. One thing I can say about 12 step recovery people they sure are tolerant and forgiving. Everything that the Bible says love is I found in 12 step recovery rooms. Forever grateful ! thanks
Cody Pulley what a beautiful story about your Recovery path and your sponsor. I wholeheartedly agree about 12 Step Recovery folks. We are a tolerant and forgiving bunch. We can’t afford a speck of resentment - that leads to a seriously dark dark road. Blessings!
I've just started my 12 step programme . I've been a cocaine addict for 12 years. I've tried everything but the 12 step programme is absolutely amazing . My sponsor is amazing. I've never felt this way before I'm spirituality well everyday. I listen to this . Soon I will helping another addict get clean and sober . Amazing❤
Thank you Angela for the beautiful rendition of saint Francis’s prayer. Many times I listen to it when I’m feeling down God bless all who listen to you 🙏❤️
I have been listening to this St. Francis prayer on and off for some time now. I start off my morning practice with at times. And. As someone said it is a wonderful prayer and keeps me grounded. Thank you for this. I have shared with many friends.
Dear Eugene Clarke - I'm so thrilled you've been enjoying this meditation on an off over the years. And I thank you for sharing it with others, passing on the message of hope. May your life be blessed. You can check out my website for more meditations if you ever feel like it.
Thank you for sharing this. I think Step 11 has finally made sense to me in a real and practical way. I will use this beautiful video, your soothing voice and, most importantly, the words, in my daily meditation.
I love listening to this. It brings peace and tears to me at the same time. I am reminded about Gratitude. Working the steps are not easy but rewarding. Inner peace is priceless
Thank you so much for this beautiful, and beautifully paced recording of the Prayer. I am doing the 12 Step programme and this prayer, with your words and calming, benevolent and gentle voice that I will never tire of hearing really helps me to focus my thoughts, feelings and actions to where they Need to be. Afterwards I find it much easier to cast aside my resentments with a spirit of forgiveness and to review my gratitudes for the day. Xx
I love the St Francis Prayer. It helps me put a positive spin on life's events and gives me a grounding perspective. I really enjoy listening to the familiar words . what a wonderful tool. Thank you Angela.
Skylark I’m so glad you’re finding great benefit from this meditation and are sharing it! If you’d like others, let me know. I have recordings on CD or downloads. I’ve just not put them up on RU-vid. Blessings.
Thank you for a beautiful and well produced meditation. Your voice and intonation are quite remarkable. I love this prayer, and I love this meditation. thank you again.
I love listening to this St Francis Prayer. The voice and the words. I like to listen to it before retiring at night. When the day is done. And peace comes dropping slowly, drip by drip and even in our sleep. Thank you.

Anything that brings a person clarity in a society full of confusion is going to benefit. My Prayer, The Prayer of St Francis has helped deliver me through some of the most darkest hours of my life journey just for having known about it. Understanding IS much more important than being understood. Accomplish that by learning how a person may THINK correctly. Therefore allowing a person to make correct choices, and enjoy life as it was meant to Be Lived. Think Well, or die trying.
I wrote another prayer you might be interested in seeing, and I recorded that prayer in my memoir which I would be happy to send you a PDF if you pass me your email address to thinkwell10@outlook.com. The Prayer goes like this: Lord Jesus please help me, My Lord when you died on the Cross for us, You covered us in all of your blood, Please protect us always. Show me Lord how to be more like you towards others and to THINK as You do, For Thy Will Be Done. Teach me great Master, and please do not leave me forsaken. Amen. In retrospection, or introspection, the root of anyone seeking truth whether through meditation or otherwise is between a persons 2 ears with great emphasis upon the Way a person THINKS. Currently learning that "correctly" is not common....until now. My studies have led me to guide others to freedom away from mental slavery and into self liberation simply by teaching a person How to Think Correctly. Just because a person might think, does not automatically imply that is 100% correct. And let us not over look the fact Jesus was a Teacher and everyone knows this quote: Father, forgive them for they KNOW not what they do." Think about it, please. Peace+++
Ronny Hamm -- thanks so much for commenting that you're appreciating the Step 11 or St. Francis Prayer. Every lit bit of support helps. Blessings, Angela
Jonnie -- so glad this meditation is of some help to you and your spiritual daily life. Keep on! When we give, we are no longer thinking of ourselves, the root of our suffering. Yes, better to give than receive.
Francis eventually found out what he was not in this prayer...its clear in his self- forgetting message to us all... he just couldnt proclaim who he was due to the Christian nature of the Western World ...This prayer woke up the sleeping Spirit that is Whole in me..(even that's not really true..but the best wording )
+karen daniels Glad this meditation is of use to you! I'm just about to release a new CD -- and if you want to be notified on it's release and ability to purchase it, send along your email. I do on-line Webinars and course, which you may also be interested in. Many blessings, Angela

Stunning, beautiful, awe inspiring, peaceful, calming and serene. I could play this all day. Your Voice is beautiful and resonated with me at a different level Angela. I feel so blessed, thank you I really appreciate this meditation... Do you have copies of it for sale, I could go to sleep and wake to this every day.... thank you Angela
Thanks so much Jan for your feedback. I DO sell this and my other Meditation tracks via iTunes on a CD called Sitting in the Light. I have an inner child meditation as well as compassion, mindfulness etc. If for some reason you can't find it, let me know and you can purchase it directly from me. Blessings Jan.
Nice voice and intention Angela, beautiful. We have a ‘Happy Joyous and Free’ 11th step weekdays in Carson City Nevada. We use a 20 minute meditation in a traditional style AA mtg where everyone shares, and everyone shares their name in an intro circle. Very inclusive. My only feedback is that the music is too loud. I will explore your other vids. Thank you dear 🌛
