And still I pray...

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.

Oh, 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

(The Prayer of St. Francis)
