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 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.
St Francis of
Assisi
