Instrument of Peace

There are words that echo across centuries - not because they are loud, but because they are true. This design draws from the beloved prayer attributed to St. Francis of Assisi, a voice of humility, compassion, and radical love. Set within a circular, icon-like composition, Francis is depicted in quiet harmony with creation—bird in hand, wolf at his side—an image of peace not as abstraction, but as lived reality. The text arcs and settles within the design like a whispered invocation:

“Lord, make me an instrument of your peace: Where there is hatred, let me sow love.”

Rendered in a vintage, woodcut-inspired style, the artwork evokes the feel of an illuminated manuscript or a well-worn prayer card - something carried, something cherished, something returned to again and again.

This is not a loud shirt.
It does not argue.
It does not demand.

It simply bears witness.

A reminder that peace is not passive.
It is something we become.
Something we carry into the world.
Something we dare to sow.
