The Wonderful Prayer of St. Francis

O Lord, make me an instrument of Thy Peace!
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
Where there is injury, pardon;
Where there is discord, harmony;
Where there is doubt, faith;
Where there is despair, hope;
Where there is darkness, light, and
Where there is sorrow, joy.

Oh 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.
