Prayer For Peace/St. Francis Prayer

Sign of the cross (in the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit – Amen)
 
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 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 pardoning that we are pardoned;
it is in dying that we are born again to eternal life.
