St. Francis (of Assisi)
Prayer
Lord, make me an instrument
of Thy Peace ~
That where there is hatred,
I may bring love;
Where there is wrong,
I may bring the spirit
of forgiveness;
That where there is discord,
I may bring harmony;
Where there is error,
I may bring truth;
Where there is doubt,
I may bring faith;
Where there is despair,
I may bring hope;
Where there are shadows,
I may bring light;
Where there is sadness,
I may bring joy;
Lord, grant that I may
seek rather
To comfort, than to be
comforted;
To understand, than to
be understood;
To love, than to be loved;
For it is by self-forgetting
that one finds;
It is by forgiving that
one is forgiven;
It is by dying that one
awakens to Eternal Life.
