Prayer for Peace
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; and
where there is sadness, joy.
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 of Assisi
