Prayer of Saint Francis of Assisi

Hey everybody, Its Reggie. This time of year I would like to remind everyone to be the change we would like to see in the world. Below is one of my favorite prayers for inspiration. I recite it out loud every morning, as a reminder to be the best I can. It always fills me with HOPE for the future. It means that I always have new opportunities, new lessons to learn and new areas to grow. I hope you enjoy it as much as I have. Keep growing today!

Prayer of Saint Francis of Assisi
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;
and 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.
Amen
