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,
Where there is sadness, joy.
O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much
seek to be consoled as to console,
not so much to be understood as to understand,
not so much 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 awake to eternal life.

If you get rid of unfair practices, quit blaming victims, quit gossiping about other people�s sins, if you are generous with the hungry and start giving yourselves to the down-and-out, your lives will begin to glow in the darkness, your shadowed lives will be bathed in sunlight. I will always show you where to go. I�ll give you a full life in the emptiest of places � firm muscles, strong bones. You�ll be like a well-watered garden, a gurgling spring that never runs dry. You�ll use the old rubble of past lives to build anew, rebuild the foundations from out of your past. You�ll be known as those who can fix anything, restore old ruins, rebuild and renovate, make the community livable again.�
Isaiah 58:6-12 (The Message)
