Prayer that Saint Francis and his Brothers prayed whenever they saw a church

We adore you, O Lord Jesus Christ,
here and in all the Churches of the world,
and we praise You,
because
by Your Holy Cross You have redeemed the world.

Let us desire nothing else,
let us wish for nothing else,
let nothing else please us and cause us delight
except our Creator and Redeemer and Saviour,
the One True God,
Who is the Fullness of Good,
all good, every good, the true and supreme Good;
Let nothing hinder us,
nothing separate us,
or nothing come between us.

The Butterfly is symbol of transforming union of the soul to God. God will give this grace to those faithful to walk the path of prayer and self-denial
