Prayer by St Francis of Assisi

"Lord, make me an instrument of your 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."

St. Francis of Assisi (Founder of the Franciscan order, 1181-1226)
