I've posted this before, but hey how can it hurt to post it again? St. Francis rocks!!!:
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
It is so beautiful it makes my soul leap. I've started taking it line by line every day as a way to guide my life. Today is line two "That where there is hatred I may bring love". I find this daily exercise a great way to keep me present and selfless.
Today I'm intending for you to feel the love, peace and grace of God.
Love,
Tim
