- Lord, make me an instrument of your peace;
- where there is hatred, let me show love;
- where there is injury, pardon:
- where there is doubt, faith ;
- where there is despair, hope
- where there is darkness, light
- where there is sadness, 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 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.

- Prayer attributed to Saint Francis
That is worth praying everyday for we are truly blessed when we give selflessly to bless others. Thanks for the lovely reminder.
ReplyDeleteA beautiful prayer. I just starting blogging a couple months ago and am trying amazed there are so many bloggers sharing God's word.It such an inspiration meeting so many wonderful Christian women and men.
ReplyDeleteGod bless, Lynda
That is quite a tall order for us ordinary human beings. Very appropriate your showing it us at this juncture.
ReplyDeleteOn a less lofty note: your garden never fails to surprise me: so many different nooks and crannies. On second thoughts: this may be elsewhere?
And Amen.
ReplyDeleteWonderful prayer. My neighbor has a statue of St. Francis that needs to be in my yard. It's a rent house and it's just laying in some weeds behind the garage. I'm inspired to ask for it.
