Conclude your reflection by praying or singing the Prayer of St. Francis.
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
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.
For it is in giving
that we receive;
it is in pardoning
that we are pardoned;
and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.
