St. Francis of Assisi

"Lord, make me an instrument of thy 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;
Not so much to be understood as
to understand;
Not so much to be loved
As to love;
For it is in giving that we recieve;
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
It is in dying that we awaken to eternal life."

--Francis of Assisi
