Make Us Instruments Of Your Peace

By Fr. Bjorn, OES
I would like to begin with one of my favorite prayers, which is the Prayer of St. Francis of Assisi:

Oh God, 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;

It is in dying to self that we are born to eternal life."
