Next, the prayer that has touched the entire world globally is by St. Francis Assisi. He found peace with all of God’s creation, but animals really gave him the message of peace. He loved being outside with nature and animals. This is another way you may feel peace and want to explore the spirituality of God in your own place of beauty!
An Instrument of Peace
Lord, make me an instrument
OF YOUR PEACE,
Where there is hatred,
LET ME SOW LOVE;
When 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 seek
Not so much 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.
——St. Francis
