Prayer of Saint Francis 

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace. 
Where there is hatred, let me sow love; 
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.
