Prayer of St Francis

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.
