"Lord, make me a channel of thy peace--
that where there is hatred, I may bring love--
that where there is wrong, I may bring the spirit of forgiveness--
that where there is discord, I may bring harmony--
that where there is error, I may bring truth--
that where there is doubt, I may bring faith--
that where there is despair, I may bring hope--
that where there are shadows, I may bring light--
that 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 self-forgetting that one finds.
It is by forgiving that one is forgiven.
It is by dying that one awakens to Eternal Life. Amen."
