Transcript

Prayer of St.

Francis,

Adopted Spirit,

Make me a channel of your peace.

That where there is separation,

I may bring love and connection.

That where there are hurts and harms,

I may bring the spirit of forgiveness.

That where there is discord,

I may bring harmony.

That where there is distortion,

I may bring truth.

That where there is fear and doubt,

I may bring faith.

That where there is despair,

I may bring hope.

That where there are shadows,

I may bring light.

That where there is sadness,

I may bring joy.

Spirit,

Help me focus more on giving comfort to others instead of seeking comfort for myself.

To understand rather than to be first understood.

To love rather than to be loved first.

It's by letting go of myself that I truly discover who I am.

It is by forgiving that I am forgiven.

It is by dying to the false self that I awaken to eternal truth and life.

Thank you,

Spirit.

I'm so glad this prayer has shown up consistently on this app. Sometimes, I'm troubled that most meditations are focused on the self, and rarely consider our duty* to those we cross paths with. This prayer reminds us that we have sources of goodness, light, and comfort to offer when difficult situations or people show up. Looking for feasible ways to bring peace, forgiveness, and love to others us is a key part* (duty) of our own self-development.
