$\"blog$ <\/a>Lord, make me an instrument of Your peace;
\nWhere there is hatred, let me sow love;
\nWhere there is injury, pardon;
\nWhere there is discord, harmony;
\nWhere there is error, truth;
\nWhere there is doubt, faith;
\nWhere there is despair, hope;
\nWhere there is darkness, light;
\nAnd where there is sadness, joy.
\nO Divine Master,
\nGrant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console;
\nto be understood as to understand;
\nto be loved as to love.
\nFor it is in giving that we receive;
\nIt is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
\nAnd it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.<\/p>\n
