Prayer of St. Francis

This beautiful prayer of St. Francis is sung in this video. There is another version called "Make Me a Channel of Your Peace" - maybe I'll post that one another day.

I really like the version sung here - I had not heard it before.



Prayer of Saint Francis of Assisi

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;
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.
