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 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. Amen. |
