"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."
The Christian prayer of Saint Francis turns our focus outward as conduits of divine grace. Rather than seeking to be consoled, we are called to console; rather than demanding understanding, we seek to understand. In giving of ourselves in Christ’s name, we receive eternal life.
