A Prayer for Peace
Prayer of Peace: a beautiful prayer that Saint Francis gave us to find peace within and without us.
Lord, make me an instrument of Your Peace:
Where there is hatred, let me sow Love ,
Where there is offense, let me bring Forgiveness,
Where there is discord, let me bring union,
Where there is doubt, let me bring Faith,
Where there is error, let me bring Truth,
Where there is despair, let me bring Hope,
Where there is sadness, let me bring Joy,
Where there is darkness, let me bring Light.
Master, let me not search so much
To be consoled, as to console;
To be understood, as to understand;
To be loved, as much as to love.
Because, so it is:
Giving, which is received;
By forgiving, one is forgiven;
By dying, one is resurrected to Eternal Life.
