Prayer

Lord, make me an instrument of thy 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.

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 received, 
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
and it is in dying to self that we are born to Eternal Life.
