A Prayer from
St. Francis of Assisi:
"Lord, make us instruments of Thy peace: Where there is hatred, let us 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 that we 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."
(h/t to
Josh Bales for leading us in this prayer this morning at
Lake Baldwin Church.)
