Peace Prayer of St. Francis

¹Lord, make me an instrument of your peace:

²where there is hatred, let me sow love;

³where there is injury, pardon;

⁴where there is doubt, faith;

⁵where there is despair, hope;

⁶where there is darkness, light;

⁷where there is sadness, joy.

⁸O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek

⁹to be consoled as to console,

¹⁰to be understood as to understand,

¹¹to be loved as to love.

¹²For it is in giving that we receive,

¹³it is in pardoning that we are pardoned,

¹⁴and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life. Amen.
