Prayer of Saint Francis of Assisi
 
St. Francis Wood Sculpture
by Tadeusz Kacalak
Lord, make us instruments
of your peace.
Where there is hatred
let us sow love;
Where there is injury, pardon;
Where there is discord, union;
Where there is doubt, faith;
Where there is despair, hope;
Where there is darkness, light;
Where there is sadness, joy.
  
Grant that we 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
