Study Notes
Prayer of St. Francis
- 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.
- And where there is sadness, joy.
- 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.
