The
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.
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.
