The prayer of 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.

And it is in pardoning that we are pardoned.

And it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.

Miguel, I have been to Assisi 4 times. It is such a beautiful and sacred place. There is something special about it that can't be described. It is even a better experience in late fall when the crowds have left. And this prayer is simply beautiful. thank you! πŸ’
