Lord, Make Me an Instrument

Lord, Make me an instrument of thy peace;

Where there is hatred, let me sow love;

Where there is doubt, faith;

Where there is despair, hope;

Where there is darkness, light;

And where theire 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 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.

~ St. Francis
