Prayer of St. Francis of Assisi

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;

And where there is Sadness, Joy.

As you read the above prayer did you notice that there are contrasts in every phrase?  There is a dark side that leads to death and there is side of righteousness that always comes through the LOVE of God. “…Now you must choose to be slaves of righteousness so that you will become Holy.”  [Romans 5:19]    by Clarissa Finley
