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.
