Prayer From St. Francis

~THE 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 doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
where there is sadness, joy;

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
