The Peace Prayer

Lord, make me an instrument of Thy peace;
     Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
     Where there is injury, pardon;
     Where there is error, the truth;
     Where there is doubt, the 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.
