Lord,
make us instruments of your peace. Where there is hatred, let us
sow love; where there is injury, pardon; where there is discord,
union; where there is doubt, faith; where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light; where there is sadness, joy.
Grant
that we 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
