Prayer of St. Francis
-
Lord, make me an instrument of Thy 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.
In dedication to all the friars of Holy Name Friary.
