“THE PRAYER OF ST. 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 is by forgiving that one is forgiven.
100
It is by dying that one awakens to Eternal Life.”
