Words to live by

[beacon]

I love this not because I am particulary religious but that it really epitomizes how I would like to live my life. I need to work at this more

 

Lord, make me an instrument of Your peace;

Where there is hatred, let me sow love;

Where there is injury, pardon;

Where there is discord, harmony;

Where there is error, truth;

Where there is doubt, faith;

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 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.

Saz -  It is the Prayer of Saint Francis but it is said that the author is unknown despite many rumors

You are most welcome - it is a good historical fact / trivia question because no one really knows the answer
