Lord, make me an instrument of Your peace ..
selah ..~
where there is hatred
let me sow love
where there is injury
pardon
where there is error
truth
where there is doubt
faith
where there is despair
hope
where there is darkness
light
and where there is sadness
joy.
selah ..~
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 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.
prayer attributed to st. francis
Are you familiar with the hymn with these lines, "Lord, prepare me, to be a sanctuary..."? When I read this, it brought that to my mind~~~one of my favorites I haven't thought of in awhile.
