聖方濟的禱文
主啊,使我成為你和平的器皿,
哪裏有仇恨,讓我散播愛;
哪裏有傷害,饒恕;
哪裏有疑惑,信心;
哪裏有失望,希望;
哪裏有黑暗,光明;
哪裏有悲哀,喜樂;
噢,神聖的主,求使我不多尋求
受安慰,寧施安慰;
不求被了解,寧去了解;
不求被愛,寧施愛。
因為在施予中我們領受;
在饒恕時我們被饒恕;
在死亡中我們生在永遠的生命。
Prayer of St. Francis of Assisi
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 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.
