St. Francis' Prayer : Reconsecration to a Wartime Lifestyle

Lord, make me an instrument of Thy peace. Where there is hatred let me sow love; where there is injury pardon; where there is despair, hope; where there is doubt, faith; where there is darkness light; 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; it is in dying that we are born to eternal life. Amen.
