The Prayer of St. Francis

Lord make me an instrument of Your PEACE.

Where there is hatred let me bring your LOVE.

Where there is injury your PARDON!

Where there is doubt FAITH!

Where there is despair HOPE!

Where there is darkness LIGHT!

And where there is sadness please help me bring JOY!

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

In pardoning that we are pardoned

And in dying that we are born to eternal life
