This prayer by St. Francis of Assisi asks God to make him an instrument of peace. It asks that where there is hatred, he brings love; where there is injury, pardon; where there is dispute, union; where there is doubt, faith; where there is ignorance, truth; where there is despair, hope; where there is sadness, joy; and where there is darkness, light. It concludes by asking God to grant that he may seek not to be consoled but to console, not to be understood but to understand, and not to be loved but to love.
