"Lord, make me a channel of your peace.

Where there is hatred, let me sow love;

Where there is injury, pardon;

Despair, hope;

Doubt, faith;

Darkness, light;

And where there is sadness, joy.

Oh 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 love;

For it is in giving that we receive;

It is in pardoning that we are pardoned;

And it is in dying to self that we are born to eternal life.” -The Prayer of St. Francis
