Peace  Prayer

 

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;

where there is sadness, joy.

 

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.

 

Do  This  in  Memory
