The Prayer of Saint Francis

"O Lord, make me an instrument of Thy Peace!
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
Where there is injury, pardon;
Where there is discord, harmony;
Where there is doubt, faith; 
Where there is despair, hope; 
Where there is darkness, light, and 
Where there is sorrow, 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 is in giving that we receive; 
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned; 
and it is in dying that we are born to Eternal Life."
(Saint Francis of Assisi)
