A prayer which goes by many names, I know it best as the Prayer of Saint
Francis, though it was likely not written by Saint Francis of Assisi, but by
a French priest named Father Esther Bouquerel (1855-1923), in whose magazine
it first appeared in 1912. Its translated text reads as such:
"Lord, make me an instument of Thy peace;
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
Where there is injury, pardon;
Where there is error, the truth;
Where there is doubt, the 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.
"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."
