Prayer For Peace

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 such seek
to be consoled, as to console;
To be loved, as to love;
For it is in giving that we receive;
And it is in dying that we are
born to eternal life...

-- St. Francis of Assisi
