'Faith Without Works Is Dead.'


'Lord,

make me a channel of thy peace

that where there is hatred,

I may bring love

that where there is wrong,

I may bring the spirit of forgiveness

that where there is discord,

I may bring harmony

that where there is error,

I may bring truth

that where there is doubt,

I may bring faith

that where there is despair,

I may bring hope

that where there are shadows,

I may bring light

that where there is sadness,

I may bring joy.

Lord,

grant that I may seek rather to comfort than to be comforted

to understand, than to be understood

to love,

than to be loved.

For it is by self-forgetting that one finds.

It is by forgiving that one is forgiven.

It is by dying that one awakens to

Eternal Life.

Amen.'




The Pope
