St. Francis Prayer

"Lord,  Make me a channel of thy peace - That where there is hatred - I may bring love - That where there is wrong - I may bring the spirit of forgiveness - That where there is discord - I may bring harmony - That where there is error - I may bring truth - That where there is doubt - I may bring faith - That where there is despair - I may bring hope - That where there is shadow - I may bring light -That where there is sadness - I may bring joy - Lord, grant that I may seek, rather to comfort- than to be comforted - to understand - than to be understood - to love -  than to be loved - For it is by self forgetting - that one finds - It is by forgiving - that one is forgiven - it is by dying - that one awakens to eternal life. Amen
