    The Prayer of Saint Francis of Assisi asks God to make the speaker an instrument of peace who can bring love where there is hatred, forgiveness where there is wrong, harmony where there is discord, truth where there is error, faith where there is doubt, hope where there is despair, light where there are shadows, and joy where there is sadness. It also asks to seek comforting others over being comforted oneself and to understand over being understood, as self-forgetting, forgiving, and dying lead to finding, forgiveness, and eternal life.

    Prayer of Saint Francis of Assisi

    (from page 99; 12 Steps & 12 Traditions)

    Lord, make me an instrument of thy peace!


    That where there is hatred, I may bring love.
    That where there is wrong, I may bring the spirit of forgiveness.
    That where there is discord, I may bring harmony.
    That where there is error, I may bring truth.
    That where there is doubt, I may bring faith.
    That where there is despair, I may bring hope.
    That where there are shadows, I may bring light.
    That where there is sadness, I may bring joy.
    Lord, grant that I may seek rather to comfort, than to be comforted.
    To understand, than to be understood.
    To love, than to be loved.
    For it is by self-forgetting that one finds.
    It is by forgiving that one is forgiven.
    It is by dying that one awakens to Eternal Life.
    Saint Francis of Assisi
