Prayers

 

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace....


Where there is hatred, let me show love.
Where there is injury, let me show pardon.
Where there is doubt, let me show faith.
Where there is despair, let me give hope.
Where there is darkness, let me give light.
Where there is sadness, let me give joy.
