Lord, make me a channel of your 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. Amen.
