Prayer for Peace
Lord, make me an instrument of your
peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow love,
Where there is injury, pardon;
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.
St. Francis of Assisi.
