Make me an
instrument
of your peace . . .
.
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.
O DIVINE MASTER,
G R A N T
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
1182 - 1226 CE
