Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.
Where there is hatred, let me take love;
Where there is offensive words, shall I bring forgiveness;
Where there is contention, let me bring about union;
Where there is doubt, let me bring faith;
Where there is error, let me take the truth;
Where there is despair, I may bring hope;
Where there is sadness, I may bring joy;
Where there is darkness, let me bring light.
… … …
O master, make me look for more:
To console, to be comforted;
To understand, to be understood;
To love, to be loved;
It is in giving that we receive;
It is forgiving that one is forgiven;
And it is dying that one lives for eternal life.
Saint Francis of Assisi
