The Peace Prayer of St. Francis

Lord make me an instrument of your peace

Where there is hatred,
Let me sow love;
Where there is injury, pardon;
Where there is error, truth;
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 pardon,
And it is in dying that we are born into eternal life.

~ St. Francis of Assisi
