world
Please pray for:
• our current administration
• the poor who are suffering most from the recession
• corruption in the church
• the world’s unhealthy addiction to sex
• our obsession with materialism
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; and where there is sadness, joy. O God, 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.
Amen.
A prayer of St. Francis of Assisi
We used to have this song in school.
