Lord make me an instrument of your peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
where there is injury, pardon;
where there is discord, union;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
where there is sadness, joy.
Oh Divine master, grant that I may not so much
seek to be consoled but 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
Amen (attributed to St Francis of Assisi)
Lord Jesus,
Thank you that you are a light to the world,
We thank you that your light, shines through the darkness.
Let your light shine in our cities, our towns and on our streets.
Let it bring hope and restoration..
Help us to live as children of the light.
so that people see you in our lives, in what we say and do.
