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 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.
St. Francis of Assisi (1182-1226)

Discover yourself to be greater than you ever dreamed. Get inspired by your great purpose! Purpose breaks us free from limiting thoughts and allows us to expand.
I am inspired by St. Francis of Assisi and his love, beauty, and gifts. His purpose lives on greater than he ever imagined. Imagine for a moment, with all of our tools that connect us, how your great purpose could expand beyond your imagination! Write me…I’d love to know your great purpose!
Thank you for sharing this prayer…over the years it has been a wonderful source of inspiration and strength in my life and the lives of so many others. Do you want peace in your life? Tranquility? Connection? Love? St. Francis provides the perfect road map.
Thank you my friends.
Humanity has benefited greatly from the wisdom and inspiration left us by St. Francis of Assisi.
God bless him, and God teach and bless us all.
