st. francis of assisi // 2021.10.04

Today is the feast of the saint that taught us that true happiness is not in what we have or don't have... 

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. 
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's in giving that we receive 
It's in pardoning that we are pardoned 
And it's in dying that we are born... 
To eternal life. Amen. 

Happy feast day, St. Francis!
