Lord, make me an
instrument of Thy 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.
Oh 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.
St. Francis of
Assisi
