Prayer of Truth … ( 07 / 07 / 2013 )
“ Lord , make me an instrument of thy Peace …
Where there is hatred , let me sow Love . Where there is injury , let me sow Forgiveness .
Where there is doubt in the Goodness of others , let me sow a pure Faith in humanity .
Where there is despair over pain & & fear & injustice , let me sow Gratitude for life .
Where there is darkness & evil , let me sow the radiance of a Kindness unconditional . Where there is sadness , let me sow Joy .
O gentle Father , grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console … that I seek not so much to be understood as to understand … that I seek not so much to be loved , as to Love .
For it is in giving that we receive , it is in forgiving that we are forgiven … and it is in dying to self that we are reborn into a life of Love eternal .”
~ inspired by St . Francis of Assisi
