Prayer of Saint Asisi
:
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 again to
eternal life.
The Lasallian
