Prayer of St. Francis of Assisi (Prayer for Peace)
Lord, make me an instrument of your peace:
where there is hatred, let me sow love;
where there is injury, pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
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,
and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.
St. Francis has inspired followers of Jesus throughout the centuries and still does today.
At San Damiano, a church building in ruins outside of his native Assisi, Francis heard Christ’s word “rebuild my church!” We are called to assist in rebuilding the Church, not one of brick and mortar, but by witness and action. The Canticle of the Sun, also known as Canticle of the Creatures or Laudes Creaturarum, will lead us deeper into the spirituality of St. Francis, especially his love for creation and our care for nature, and the challenge of being messengers of peace!
