by Daniel Whittles  The Revised Prayer of St. Francis of Assisi

-------------

 

Lord, I AM an instrument of Thy Peace,
where there is Hatred,

I AM Love;
where there is Injury,

I AM Healing;
where there is Doubt,

I AM Faithful,
and where there is Darkness,

I AM Light;

Creator, through Unconditional Love,
I choose to be Compassionate,
I choose to be Understanding,
I choose Love,

I choose to See You in all Others and Myself,
I choose to Give, Trusting in my Replenishment,
I choose to Allow, Knowing that all is in Divine Order,
And I choose to Surrender,

Knowing that this truly is the path of Freedom.
