Often associated with the Italian Saint Francis of Assisi (c. 1182--1226), but entirely absent from his writings, the prayer in its present form has not been traced back further than 1912 . Its first known occurrence was in French, in a small spiritual magazine called La Clochette (The Little Bell), published by a Catholic Church organization in Paris named La Ligue de la Sainte - Messe (The League of the Holy Mass). The author's name was not given, although it may have been the founder of La Ligue, Father Esther Bouquerel . The prayer was heavily publicized during both World War I and World War II . It has been frequently set to music by notable songwriters and quoted by prominent leaders, and its broadly inclusive language has found appeal with diverse faiths encouraging service to others . </P> <P> In most of the published versions of the prayer, the text is abridged, paraphrased, and / or copyrighted . Below is the complete original text from its earliest known publication (1912, in French, copyright expired), alongside a line - by - line English translation . </P>
