ST. FRANCIS OF ASSISI
Lord, make me an instrument of 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.......
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 pardoning that we are pardoned,
And it is in dying that we are
Born to eternal life
