Eternal Life
(Prayer of St. Francis of Assisi)
"Lord, make me an instrument of Thy peace;
Where there is hatred, let me sow loue;
Where there is injury, pardon;
Where there is doubt, faith;
~
Where there is despair, hope;
Where there is darkness, light;
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 loue;
For it is in gluing that we receive;
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
It is in dying that we are bom
To Eternal Life."
