Prayer Of St. Francis Of Assisi

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;
In pardoning that we are pardoned; and it is in dying that we are born to
eternal life.
