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 console as to console,
Not so much to be understood as to be understand,
Not so much to be loved, as to love;
Nor it is in giving what we receive,
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
It is in dying that we are awake in eternal life. – Saint Francis of a Assisi (d. 1226)
Patron saint of animals and nature
