  A prayer for peace

Lord, make me an instrument of thy peace,

where there is hatred, let me sow love;

where there is injury, pardon;

where there is discord, union;

where there is doubt, faith;

where there is despair, hope;

where there is darkness, light;

where there is sadness, joy;

O Divine master, grant me 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.
