Saint Frances church of assis a prayer
Lord make me an instrument of your peace
Where there is hatred, let me sow love
Where there is injury pardon
Where there doubt, faith
Where there is darkness, light
And 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 giving that we receive
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned
and it is in dying that we are born to eteral life
