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;
And where there is sadness, joy. Oh, Divine Father, grant that I may
not so much seek to be consoled asto 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.”
