Prayer of
Saint Francis
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;
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 its in dying that we are born to
eternal life.
