St. Francis of Assisi Prayer

“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;

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.”

-St. Francis of Assisi
