Prayer of St. Francis
of Assisi
Lord, make me an instrument
of your peace.
Where this 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 is in dying that
we are born to eternal life.
