Lord, make me a channel of thy peace - that where there is hatred, I may bring love -that where there is wrong, I may bring the spirit of forgiveness - that where there is discord, I may bring harmony - that where there is error, I may bring truth - that where there is 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. Lord, grant that I may seek rather to comfort than to be comforted - to understand, than to be understood - to love, than to be loved. For it is by self-forgetting that one finds it. It is by forgiving that one is forgiven. It is by dying that one awakens to Eternal Life. Amen

A Prayer by Saint Francis of Assisi
Lord, make me a channel of thy peace - that where there is hatred, I may bring love -that where there is wrong, I may bring the spirit of forgiveness - that where there is discord, I may bring harmony - that where there is error, I may bring truth - that where there is 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. Lord, grant that I may seek rather to comfort than to be comforted - to understand, than to be understood - to love, than to be loved. For it is by self-forgetting that one finds it. It is by forgiving that one is forgiven. It is by dying that one awakens to Eternal Life. Amen
