Sebastian Temple is the composer of Princess Diana's favorite song, Prayer of St. Francis. His composition, also known as Make Me a Channel of Your Peace, was performed during Diana's funeral by the choir of Westminster Abbey, following Elton John's performance of Candle in the Wind.
Temple was born in South Africa on Feb. 12, 1928. His early years were spent in the countryside. His mother died when he was 3 and his father turned him over to his grandparents to raise.
He adopted the Franciscan lifestyle and became a Secular Franciscan. Temple spent much of his time composing music for worship, much of which later was recorded into six separate collections.
