Make Me a Channel of Your Peace

Welcome to the Christian Poem

"Make me a Channel of your Peace"
- originally written by St Francis of Assisi.

Make me a channel of your peace
Francis of Assisi

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;
and where there is sadness, joy;
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.
