The Prayer of St. Francis

Prayer of St. St. Francis

“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.”

- St. Francis of Assisi

If you’re feeling bold this year, why not forsake present-buying for Christmas and instead make a donation to World Vision, which will go to provide clothing, food, educational supplies, medicine, and other life necessities to children across the world? It just might be worth it, you know.
