The Prayer Of St. Francis

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 THEIR IS DARKNESS, LIGHT;
"AND WHERE THERE IS SADNESS, JOY.

"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,
"AND IT IS IN DYING THAT WE ARE BORN TO ETERNAL LIFE."
