Peace Makers
“PEACE-MAKERS ARE BLESSED, THE WHOLE EARTH WILL BELONG TO THEM.” – JESUS
MAKE ME A CHANNEL OF YOUR PEACE,
WHERE THERE IS HATRED LET ME BRING YOUR LOVE
WHERE THERE IS INJURTY, YOUR PARDON, GOD
AND WHERE THERE’S DOUBT, TRUE FAITH IN YOU.
MAKE ME A CHANNEL OF YOUR PEACE,
WHERE THERE’S DESPAIR IN LIFE LET ME BRING HOPE.
WHERE THERE IS DARKNESS – ONLY LIGHT.
AND WHERE THERE IS SADNESS – EVER JOY.
OH, GOD, GRANT THAT I MAY NEVER SEEK
SO MUCH TO BE CONSOLED AS TO CONSOLE,
TO BE UNDERSTOOD AS TO UNDERSTAND,
TO BE LOVED AS TO LOVE WITH ALL MY SOUL.
MAKE ME A CHANNEL OF YOUR PEACE.
IT IS IN PARDONING THAT WE ARE PARDONED –
IN GIVING OF OURSELVES THAT WE RECEIVE,
AND IN DYING THAT WE’RE BORN TO ETERNAL LIFE.
- ST. FRANCIS
