St. Francis' Prayer

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 darkness,
light,

and where there is sadness,
joy.

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

in dying that we are born to eternal life.

Amen
