PRAYER FOR PEACE

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

No sorry I forgot to put that was by Saint Frances Assisi. I found it between pages with a book mark in a book that was given to me and felt the words said what I feel often. I am glad you enjoyed it! (((HUGS)))
