not war, as the solution to disagreements and misunderstandings.

Prayer
of St Francis of Assissi
Lord,
make me an instrument of Thy peace,
Where there is hatred,let me sow love;
Where there is injury, pardon, Where
there is despair, hope;
Where there is darkness, light and Where there is sadness, Joy.
O Divine Master, grant that I may not,
So much seek to be onsoled 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.
