Prayer , Attributed to St. Francis of 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 is despair, hope
Where there is darkness, light
Where there is sadness, joy
Grant that I may not so much week 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 brought to Eternal Life.
