This week we call to mind St. Francis of Assisi with his Feast Day Oct 4th. The following prayer is attributed to him:
Lord, make us instruments of you peace. Where there is hatred, let us sow love; where there is injury, pardon; where there is discord, union;
where there is doubt, faith; where there is despair, hope; where there is darkess, light; where there is sadness, joy.
Grand that we many 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. Amen.
Blessings, Jeanne Larsen, chaplain
