Make me an instrument of your peace,
where there is hatred let me sow love,
where there is injury...pardon,
where there is discord...unity,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.
Divine Master,
grant that I might 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 we receive,
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.
Amen.
(attributed to St Francis of Assisi - the one that loved animals
and got caught preaching to the birds :))
