Prayer for Peace

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 is there is sadness, joy.

O Divine Master, grant that I may seek
not so much 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. Amen

St Francis of Assisi
(1181-1226)
