Prayer for peace

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.

Amen.
