THe Prayer of St. Francis       

 

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.

Where there is hatred, let me sow love;

where there is injury, pardon; where there is doubt, faith;

where there is despair, hope;

where there is darknesss, light;

where there is sadness, joy.

O, Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console;

to be understood as to understand; to be loved as to love; for it is in giving that we receive;

It is in pardoning that we are pardoned; it is in dying that we are born again to eternal life. Amen.
