The Prayer of Saint Francis of Assisi
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 darkness, light,
And
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,
And
it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.
