祈禱文

方濟各的祈禱:

天主,使我作你和平的工具,
在有仇恨的地方,讓我播種仁愛;
在有殘害的地方,讓我播種寬恕;
在有猜疑的地方,讓我播種信任;
在有絕望的地方,讓我播種希望;
在有黑暗的地方,讓我播種光明;
在有憂苦的地方,讓我播種喜樂;

我不企求他人的安慰,只求安慰他人;我不企求他人的諒解,只求諒解他人;我不企求他人的愛護,只求愛護他人;因為在施捨他人時,我們接受施予;因為在寬恕他人時,我們獲得寬恕;因為在喪失生命時,我們生於永恆。

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;

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.
