St. Francis' Prayer

“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; and where there is sadness, joy.”

St. Francis of Assisi


This was my mom's favorite prayer when I was young.

A prayer of few words yet SO MUCH substance! It really opens one's mind to really think about choices, decisions, actions we make and do!
Any thoughts of prayer stations that we can use during lent at church ,please share or if you have thoughts of people willing to develop one, let me know.
May God's love and peace be with each of you as a new day begins.
