A Prayer for Today

saintfrancisPrayer of St. Francis of Assisi

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. Amen
