Lord, make me an instrument of Thy peace. Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
Where there is offensive words, shall I bring forgiveness;
Where there is discord, I may bring harmony;
Where there is doubt, I may bring faith;
Where there is error, I may bring truth;
Where there is despair, I may bring hope;
Where there is sadness, I may bring joy;
Where there is darkness, let me bring light.
O Divine Master, grant that I may seek more comfort, than to be comforted;
Understand than to be understood;
To love, to be loved.
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.

Francisco de Assis
