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 doubt, faith;
where there is error, truth;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is sadness, joy;
where there is darkness, light;
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;
For it is in trusting ourselves to the eternal love
that we are given life
in the eternal love.
