St Francis Prayer

“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 - the where there is disorder, 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'm a 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. It is by dying that one awakens to Eternal Life. Amen.”
