"Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God."
-- From The Sermon on the Mount of Jesus Christ
The Prayer of
St. Francis of
Assisi
Lord, make me an instrument of Thy
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.
