The Prayer of St. Francis

"Lord, make us instruments of your peace. Where there is hatred, let us sow love;
where they 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.
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." -- The Book of Common Prayer 1979
