The prayer of St. Francis

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 recieve
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned
And it is dying that we are born into eternal life.
Amen
