“Lord, make me an instrument of Your peace;
 Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
 Where there is injury, pardon;
 Where there is discord, harmony; 
 Where there is error, truth; 
 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.”

 — Saint Francis of Assisi, The Peace Prayer
