A Prayer to Live By


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. Amen
(by St.Francis of Assisi).
The giving of ourselves to others, puts into action, the faith we profess.
