Prayer of St. Francis

[Verse 1]

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

[Verse 2]

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's in giving that we receive

And it's in pardoning that we are pardoned

And it's in dying that we are born to eternal life

Amen
