A PRAYER

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 eternal life
