Lord, make me an instrument of Your peace...
Medieval painting of St. Francis of Assisi by the Florentine artist Giovanni Cimabue (c. 1251-1302).
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;
where there 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.
Amen.
