St Francis Prayer for Peace

The prayer of St. Francis

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....

AMEN
