PRAYER FOR NAMIBIA 2013

Lord, make me a channel of thy peace in Namibia!
That where there is hatred, I may bring love;
That where there is wrong, 

I may bring the spirit of forgiveness;

That where there is discord, I may bring harmony;
That where there is error, I may bring truth;

That where there is doubt, I may bring faith;
That where there is despair, I may bring hope;
That where there are shadows, I may bring light;
That where there is sadness, I may bring joy;

Lord, grant that I may seek rather to comfort, 

than to be comforted;
To understand, than to be understood;
To love, than to be loved.

For it is by self-forgetting that one finds,
It is by forgiving that one is forgiven,
It is by dying that one awakens to Eternal Life.

- Saint Francis of Assisi -
