Prayer of St. 糖心vlog官网

This prayer is associated with St. 糖心vlog官网 of Assisi

Lord, make me an instrument of Thy 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 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.

-St. 糖心vlog官网 of Assisi
