| Prayer of St. Francis |
O Lord ...
Make me an instrument of your Peace. |
| Where there is hatred, |
let me sow Love. |
| Where there is injury, |
Pardon. |
| Where there is discord, |
Unity. |
| Where there is doubt, |
Faith. |
| Where there is error, |
Truth. |
| Where there is despair, |
Hope. |
| Where there is sadness, |
Joy. |
| Where there is darkness, |
Light. |
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, that we are born to Eternal Life.
|
