Prayer of St. Francis of Assisi

 

Lord,

Make me an instument 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, and

where there is sadnes, joy.

 

O Devine 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 recieve;

it is in pardoning, that we are pardoned; and

it is in His dying, that we are born to eternal life.

 

this poetry really spoke to me today, and I was going to write it anyway. But then I saw the post by Kerry, that I knew I needed to hurry up. It must be poetry day!!

Have a good one :)

Thanks for your post dad :) It brought back teenage years for me when I first had a book with those in it. It also helped to comfort me just now. Thanks again for your service work here and for being such a good friend to me. cdb :)
