The Peace Prayer of St. Francis
by an anonymous Norman c. 1915 A.D. Peace Prayer
Lord make me an instrument of your peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
Where there is injury, pardon;
Where there is error, truth;
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.

After most of his letters to the faith communities scattered over Europe and Asia, Paul usually ended by saying "Grace and peace be to you in our Lord Christ Jesus." It's kind of interesting to me that these are some of the things I seem to have the least of in my Christian walk :o
This prayer is a great reminder that Jesus calls me to be the exact opposite of what my flesh desires to do. The more I think about it, the more I see why Paul referred to this life in Christ as a mystery.
