Lord make me an instrument of your peace

It appears that the Prayer of St Francis was written for such a time as this…..

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

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’s in dying that we are born to eternal life
