The Prayer of Saint Francis of Assisi

The Prayer of Saint Francis of Assisi is one of the most beloved and famous of Christian prayers.

Lord, make me an instrument of thy 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 forgiving that we are forgiven;

It is in dying to self that we are born to eternal life.
