PRAYER OF ST.FRANCIS OF ASSISI 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.
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 of Assisi_
