"Grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console..."-St. Francis of Asisi



Hey! I promise, a post is on the way as soon as I get some more work done. I just wanted to share this, because a friend and I were discussing prayers, and this one came to mind. For those of Faith, for those who read, or for those who simply stop to rest before Googling on, I offer this prayer for you my friends...

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's in dying that we are born to eternal life.
Amen
