Prayer of Saint Francis 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.
                    It is in pardoning that we are pardoned.
                    It is in dying that we are born to eternal life.
