Let me sow peace

Everyday, sometime during the day, I try to utter the prayer of Saint Francis of Assisi and that his how I will start my blog. It will be my prayer and my desire that whoever reads this blog will find words of peace, words of comfort and strength for the journey,

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace,
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
where there is injury, pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
where there is sadness, joy;

O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as 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.

Peace and blessings to you as you read.
