628 Saint Francis Prayer

628.

St. Francis Prayer



Lord,
Let me become a tool of Thy order

Where there is hatred, let love be there

Where there is hurt, let forgiveness be there

Where there is distrust, let faithfulness be there

Where there is hopelessness, let opportunity be there

Where there is darkness, let light be there

Where there is grief, let gladness be there



Oh Holy Lord,

Let not my eyes be so widespread

So I can comfort as I am comforted

So I can comprehend as I am comprehended

So I can love as I am beloved

Because it is by giving that we can be given

And it is by forgiving that we can be forgiven

And it is by dying that we can be born again.



Amen.
