prayer St Francis.wav

Forum request for the prayer of St Francis:

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, the faith
Where there is despair, hope
Where there is darkness, light
And 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
