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;
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.
St. Francis of Assisi, 1182-1226
使我作你和平之子，在憎恨之處播下你的愛。
在傷痕之處播下你寬恕，在懷疑之處播下信心。
使我作你和平之子，在絕望之處播下你盼望。
在幽暗之處播下你光明，在憂愁之處播下喜樂。
哦主啊 使我少為自己求，
少求受安慰但求安慰人，少求被瞭解但求瞭解人。
少求愛但求全心付出愛。
使我作你和平之子，在赦免時我們便蒙赦免。
在捨去时我們便有所得，迎接死亡時我們便進入永生。
