PRAYER OF ST. 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

Where there is sadness, joy

O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console;

To 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

It is in dying to self that we are born to eternal life
