The Peace 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 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.
Amen
St. Francis of Assisi
1182-1226 AD
