Peace Prayer of St. Francis

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.
