Variation of St. Francis' Prayer by Mother Theresa
By Melissa - Tuesday, August 09, 2011
Chanced upon this treasure whilst listening to Ray Charles' rendition of Amazing Grace (Absolute gold!).
This prayer was delivered by Mother Theresa when she addressed the United Nations in 1985.
"Make us worthy Lord to serve our fellow men throughout the world,
who live and die in poverty and hunger.
Give them through our hands, this day, their daily bread
and by our understanding love give peace and joy.
Lord, make me a channel of thy peace.
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 forgetting self that one finds.
It is by forgiving that one is forgiven,
it is by dying that one awakens to eternal life.
Amen."
#Father, that You'll teach, strengthen and fill me with more of Your grace that I may be your messenger of light, ambassador of hope, Your hands and feet, Your voice of truth - always, all the time and all of my days.
