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 Divine Master, grant that I may not seek
 So much 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. 

Amen.
