Prayer of Saint Francis of Assisi

Prayer of Saint Francis of Assisi
Lord make us instruments
of your peace.
Where there is hatred
let us sow love;
Where there is injury, pardon;
Where there is discord, union;
Where there is doubt, faith;
Where there is despair, hope;
Where there is darkenss, light;
Where there is saddness, joy.
Grant that we 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 recieve;
It is in pardoning
that we are pardoned;
And it is in dying that we are
born to eternal life.
Amen
