Lord, make me a channel 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. Amen.
