Prayer Of St. Francis Of Assisi

---

Lord, make me a channel of your peace.

Where there is hatred, I may bring love;

Where there is wrong, I may bring the spirit of forgiveness;

Where there is discord, I may bring harmony;

Where there is doubt, I may bring faith;

Where there is despair, I may bring hope;

Where here are shadows, I may bring light;

Where there is sadness, I may bring joy.

Lord, grant that I may seek to comfort rather than to be comforted;

To understand, than to be understood;

To love, than to be loved.

For it is by self-forgetting that one finds.

It is by forgiving that one is forgiven.

It is by dying that one awakens to Eternal Life.

AMEN
