 Prayer of St. Francis
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 Creator 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 And it's in pardoning that we are pardoned And it's in dying that we are born to Eternal Life Amen I have always loved the prayer of St Francis and if I had a rule for my life, this would be it. Being a channel for peace is easy to say but hard to do so I have found that this prayer can give you wonderful journal ideas for how to apply these words to your life. Maybe you can explore one line a week in your journal, and then set an intention to do one small act a day. I believe this is how we start becoming a channel for peace and love in the world, and you have never been needed more. If you’d like help applying the Prayer of St Francis to your life, I’d be honored to walk with you on your spiritual path.
