Where there is hatred, let me sow love
Where there is injury, let me sow pardon
Where there is doubt, let me sow faith
Where there is despair, let me sow hope
Where there is darkness, let me sow light
And where there is sadness, let me sow joy.
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 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 of St. Francis of Assisi
