a Prayer of Truth … (07/07/13)
“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 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 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
