Missionaries of Charity Prayer

Lord, make me an instument of your peace:
where there is hatred let me sow love;
where there is injusry, pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
where there is sadness, joy.

Lord , may I not so much seek
to be consoled as to console’
to be understood as to understand;
to be loved as to love.

Because it is in giving that we receive,
in pardoning that we are pardoned.

St. Francis of Assisi
