PRAYER OF ST FRANCIS

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.

GOd is not a GOd who is centered on the me and I.
He is a GOd who desires that we may learn to love others with a selfless spirit.
This song/prayer, moved me deeply and it is my prayer that it will drive your ministry to be a vessel of His love.

Amen.
