Lord, make me a channel of thy peace; that where there is hatred, I may bring
love; where there is wrong, I may bring the spirit of forgiveness; where there is
discord, I may bring harmony; where there is error, I may bring truth; where there
is doubt, I may bring faith; where there is despair, I may bring hope; where there
are shadows, I may bring light; where there is sadness, I may bring joy.
Lord, grant that I may seek rather to comfort than to be comforted; to understand, than
to be understood; to love, than to be loved. For it is by forgetting self that one finds.
It is by forgiving that one is forgiven. It is by dying that one awakens to eternal life.
