• Lord, make me an instrument of thy peace.
  Where there is hatred, let me sow love,
  Where there is injury, pardon;
  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.

  Francis of Assisi
