Peace Prayer of 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; where there is sadness, joy;

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.
