PRAYER OF ST. FRANCIS OF ASSISI

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, 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.
