Oração de São Francisco

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace
Where there is hatred, let me bring love
Where there is offense, let me bring forgiveness
Where there is discord, let me bring unity
Where there is doubt, let me bring faith
Where there is error, let me bring truth
Where there is despair, let me bring hope
Where there is sadness, let me bring joy
Where there is darkness, let me bring light

O master, make me seek more
To console than to be consoled
To understand than to be understood
To love than to be loved
For it is in giving that one receives
It is in forgiving that one is forgiven
And it is in dying that one lives for eternal life
