Day 288 … September 13th (a channel of Peace)
“Oh Lord, make me a channel of thy Peace: that where there is hatred, I may bring Love; that where there is injustice, I may bring forgiveness; that where there is discord, I may bring harmony; that where there is error, I may bring Truth; that where there is doubt, I may bring Faith; that where there is despair, I may bring enthusiasm; that where there is darkness, I may bring Light; that where there is sadness, I may bring Joy. Grant that I seek to understand rather than to be understood. Grant that I seek to Love rather than to be loved. For it is by forgetting one’s self that one finds. It is by dying that one awakens to life eternal.” ~ St. Francis of Assisi
