Peace Prayer of St. Francis

Peace Prayer of St. Francis 
Lord, make me an instrument of your peace; 
where there is hatred, let me sow love; 
when there is injury, pardon; 
where there is doubt, faith; 
where there is despair, hope; 
where there is darkness, light; 
and where there is sadness, joy. 
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 (to ourselves) 
that we are born to eternal life.

St. Francis of Assisi Quote

“While you are proclaiming peace with your lips, 
be careful to have it even more fully in your heart.” 
St. Francis of Assisi
