Prayer of St Francis

Prayer of St Francis

Came across this while watching a clip on George Yeo. He spoke at the launch of his book and shared about the last chapter he wrote.

He wanted to find the meaning of life, and that equates somewhat to finding god . He said the quest to be spiritual – while it appears to be less important as science progresses, – should have been more, and he shared this 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; 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.”
