Lord, make me an instrument of
Thy peace;
Where there is hatred, let me sow
love;
Where there is injury, pardon;
Where there is error, the truth;
Where there is doubt, the 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.”
St. Francis of Assisi
“If you have men who will exclude
any of God’s creatures from the shelter of compassion and pity, you will have
men who will deal likewise with their fellow men.” St.
Francis of Assisi
“Remember when you leave this
earth, you can take with you nothing that you have received only what you have
given: a heart enriched by honest service, love, sacrifice and courage.” St. Francis of Assisi
“Do few things, but do them well.
Simple joys are holy.” St. Francis of
