My Lord and My God,

Make me an instrument of your peace.

Where there is hatred, let me bring love.

Where there is dissension, let me bring union.

Where there is darkness, let me bring faith.

Where there is despair, let me bring hope.

Where there is sadness, let me bring joy.

My Lord and my God, grant me that I may not 

so much seek to be understood, as to understand;

to be loved, as to love,

to be consoled, as to console.

Make me experience

that is giving I receive;

that is pardoning, I am pardoned;

that is dying, I have Life.
