I am not Catholic, but I heard this prayer every Saturday morning on the radio in my predominantly Catholic home town. According to Wikipedia, St. Francis was most likely not the author of the prayer attributed to him, but the Order of St. Francis recommends the prayer.

Scroll down to the "TEXT" section to read the entire original version.
