Lord, make me an instrument of your peace,

where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
where there is sadness, joy.

and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.

When we hate our enemies, we are
giving them power over us:

Our hate is not hurting them at all,
but our hate is turning our own days
and nights into a hellish turmoil.
