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
