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 pardonned
And it is in dying that we are born
to eternal life
~ Saint Francis of Assisi
