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 to eternal life.

 

Amen
