La Clochette

La Clochette ("The Little Bell") was a small spiritual magazine published in France in the early 20th Century by Father Esther Bouquerel from 1901[1] to 1919. The headquarters was in Paris.[1] It was making promotion of the attendance to the Mass.

It is especially known for having published in 1912 the now-famous Make Me an Instrument of Your Peace, a Christian prayer for Peace.

Though widely attributed to the 13th century saint Francis of Assisi, the text appearing in 'La Clochette' is the first known publication of the prayer.
