Prayer of St Francis 

of Assisi

Make me a channel of your peace.

Where there is hatred, let me bring your love.

Where there is injury, your pardon, Lord,

And where there’s doubt, true faith in you.

Make me a channel of your peace.

Where there’s despair in life, let me bring hope.

Where there is darkness only light,

And where there’s sadness ever joy.

Oh Master, grant that I may never seek

So much to be consoled as to console.

To be understood as to understand,

To be loved as to love with all my soul.

Make me a channel of your peace.

It is in pardoning that we are pardoned;

In giving of ourselves that we receive,

And in dying that we’re born to eternal life.

Amen

– Prayer of St Francis

The Prayer of St Francis reminds us to live with love and hope, just like we remember the soldiers on Remembrance Day who gave their lives to bring peace to the world.
