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

Peace Prayer of St. Francis of Assisi (revised by James Twyman and the World Community of Saint Francis)


Lord, I AM an instrument of Thy peace.
Where there is Hatred,
I AM Love
Where there is Injury,
I AM Healing
Where there is Doubt,
I AM Faithful
Where there is Darkness,
I AM Light

Creator, through Unconditional Love,
I choose to be Compassionate,
I choose to be Understanding,
I choose Love,
I choose to See You in all Others and Myself,
I choose to Give, Trusting in my Replenishment,
I choose to Allow, Knowing that all is in Divine Order,
And I choose to Surrender,
Knowing that this truly is the path of Freedom.
