The Peace Prayer of St. 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.
