Q Discussion Topic The following is known as the prayer of St. Francis. While probably not penned or composed by him, it does contain many of the beliefs he lived by. 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. 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. Comment on how the concepts in this prayer might be beneficial to your vocation or calling or purpose in life, and to your relationships and life in general.
