Prayer of Saint Francis of Assisi

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
