This prayer has always meant a lot to me. I hope it blesses you today as it also provides guidance. One of our fellow saints; English translation: Lord, make me an instrument of your peace. Where there is hatred, let me bring love. Where there is offence, let me bring pardon. Where there is discord, let me bring union. Where there is error, let me bring truth. Where there is doubt, let me bring faith. Where there is despair, let me bring hope. Where there is darkness, let me bring your light. Where there is sadness, let me bring joy. O Master, let me not seek as much to be consoled as to console, to be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love, for it is in giving that one receives, it is in self-forgetting that one finds, it is in pardoning that one is pardoned, it is in dying that one is raised to eternal life.

It is always possible, historically speaking, that Francis of Assisi did not write it, but a friend of his did, names Giles. No matter, it’s words are a prayer and an invocation. This also is a powerful prayer, today as it was 1000 years ago. Golden Sayings of Blessed Giles of Assisi Blessed is he who loves and does not therefore desire to be loved; Blessed is he who fears and does not therefore desire to be feared; Blessed is he who serves and does not therefore desire to be served; Blessed is he who behaves well toward others and does not desire that others behave well toward him; And because these are great things, the foolish do not rise to them.[10]
