Oración de san Francisco de Assisi

Señor, haz de mí un instrumento de tu paz:
donde haya odio, ponga yo amor,
donde haya ofensa, ponga yo perdón,
donde haya discordia, ponga yo unión,
donde haya error, ponga yo verdad,
donde haya duda, ponga yo la fe,
donde haya desesperación, ponga yo esperanza,
donde haya tinieblas, ponga yo luz,
donde haya tristeza, ponga yo alegría.

Oh, Maestro, que yo no busque tanto
ser consolado como consolar,
ser comprendido como comprender,
ser amado como amar.
Porque dando se recibe,
olvidando se encuentra,
perdonando se es perdonado,
y muriendo se resucita a la vida eterna.

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;
and 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. Amen
