LORD, make me an instrument of thy
peace…
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
Where there is injury, let me sow pardon;
Where there is doubt, let me sow hope;
Where there is darkness, let me sow light;
And where there is sadness, let me share 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, and it is in dying that we are born into enternal life.
St. Francis of Assisi
