Lord, make me an instrument of your 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 

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 dying that we are born to eternal life.
