Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.
Where there is hate, let me bring love;
where there is offense, let me bring pardon;
where there is discord, let me bring unity;
where there is error, let me bring truth;
where there is doubt, let me bring confidence;
where there is desperation, let me bring hope;
where there is darkness, let me bring light
And where there is unhappiness, let me bring joy.

Finally Lord, make me not seek
to be consoled as to console;
to be understood as to understand;
to be loved, as to love.
Because giving is how we receive,
forgetting is how we discover,
forgiving is how we are pardoned
and dying is how we are resurrected to the life that knows no end.
