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 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.
- - St. Francis of Assisi
