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;
O 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
