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 darkness, 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 to eternal life.

St. Francis
