Make Me an Instrument of Your Peace－St. Francis of Assisi

Lord, make me an instrument of Your peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
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;
To be understood as to understand;
To be loved as to love;
For it is in giving that we are pardoned;
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
It is in dying that we are born again to eternal life.

我不是基督徒,也不是天主教徒,
只不過,每次在遭遇挫折,心情失落時,
這份和平禱詞,總能抓出被我壓在心裏底層的小小勇氣,
伴隨我面對未來的風浪,
找不到比較好的中譯本,
用原文以饗.
