Prayer of Saint Francis

Lord, make me the instrument of thy peace.
Where there is hate, may I bring love;
Where there is offense, may bring pardon;
May bring union in place of discord;
Truth, replacing error;
Faith, where once there was doubt;
Hope, for despair;
Light, where there was darkness;
Joy, to replace sadness.
Make me not so crave to be loved
as to love;
Help me to learn that in giving
I may receive;
In forgetting self,
I may find life eternal.
