Lord, make me an instrument of Thy 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,
it is in dying onto self
That we are born to eternal life.
St. Francis
