Prayer of a Peacemaker

Prayer of a Peacemaker
“Bleesed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the Children of God”

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 seek
not so much 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 borned to eternal life.
Amen.

-St. Francis-
