Peace Prayer of St. Francis
Lord, make me and 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 the understand
To be loved as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive and in pardoning that we are pardoned
and in dying that we are born to eternal life.
