4 things you cannot recover:
* a stone after its throw
* a word after its said
* an occasion after the loss
* the time after it's gone

St Francis of Asis Prayer

May 28, 2008

 

 Señor, Haced de mi un instrumento de vuestra paz.
Que allí donde haya odio, ponga yo amor;
Que allí donde haya offensa, ponga yo perdón;
Que allí donde haya discordia, ponga yo armonía;
Que allí donde haya error, ponga yo verdad;
Que allí donde haya duda, ponga yo la fé;
Que allí donde haya desesperación, ponga yo esperanza;
Que allí donde haya tinieblas, ponga yo la luz;
Que allí donde haya tristeza, ponga yo alegía.

Oh Divino Maestro,
que no me empeñe tanto en ser consolado, como en consolar
en ser comprendido como comprender;
en ser amado, como amar;
pues es dando como se recibe,
perdonando es como se perdona,
y muriendo es como se resucita ala vida eterna
AMEN

-english-

Make me a channel of your 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 self-forgetting that one finds.

It is by forgiving that one is forgiven.

It is by dying that one awakens to Eternal Life.

AMEN
