PRAYER ATTRIBUTED TO SAINT FRANCIS



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 darkness, light.

Where there is sadness, 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 receive.  It is in pardoning that we are pardoned.

And it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.

Amen.
