Prayer of St Francis of Assisi

Lord make me an instrument of Thy 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 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, and it is in

pardoning that we are pardoned, and it

is in dying that we are born to eternal

life.
