The Prayer of St. Francis

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.

"Oh 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.;

It is in dying that we are born to eternal life"

May you find the fruit of the spirit in your life this year...love, joy, peace, patience, faith, gentleness,kindness, goodness, faithfulness and self-control.

May this New Year bring peace to your soul, light to your darkness, and hope for all.

Happy New Year Everyone!
