Peace Prayer of Saint Francis

© Robert Lentz, OFM

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.


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

thank you for a beautiful blog, and for the comment that you left recently at the Jesus in Love Blog. I'm happy to see that we share a similar spiritual outlook and appreciate some of the same artistic images.
