Adapted from the Prayer of St. Francis of Assisi
I AM an instrument of peace
Where there’s hatred , I AM Love
Where there’s injury, I AM Pardon
Where there’s despair, I AM Hope
Where there’s darkness, I AM Light
Where there’s sadness, I AM Joy
O divine Givenness, I Know I AM here
To be of service and to be an
Individualized Expression of your Creative Flow.
I know I AM not here to be consoled but to console
Not to be understood but to understand,
I Am here to be Loved, to be Love and to Love as
It is the greatest commitment of them all
For it is in sharing your goodness, that
I receive your ever-flowing Grace.
It is in forgiving that I know there is no wrongdoing
And it is in dying that I get to be reunited
With the Eternal Presence that it is My Nature
