Guest guest Posted December 5, 2005 Report Share Posted December 5, 2005 Prayer of Saint 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. 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 5, 2005 Report Share Posted December 5, 2005 Dear Ananthasree, that is one of my favorite prayers, introduced to me by my husband who has always been very drawn to St. Francis. I'm not sure if you have Paramatmananda Swami's tapes or books of talks (they still sell the books at least on tour and on the website), but he has given a talk or two about this prayer. =) Blessings, Iswari Ammachi, "Michelle" <ananthasree@m...> wrote: > > Prayer of Saint 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. > > > 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. > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
