Oratio Sancti Francisci | Prayer of Saint Francis of Assisi
Domine, fac me instrumentum pacis tuae:
ubi odium est, seram amorem;
ubi iniuria, veniam;
ubi dubitatio, fidem;
ubi desperatio, spem;
ubi tenebrae, lucem;
ubi tristitia, gaudium.
O Domine, fac ut non tam quaeram
consolari quam consolari,
intelligi quam intellegere,
amari quam amare.
Nam dando accipimus,
ignoscendo ignoscimur,
et moriendo ad vitam aeternam nascimur.
Amen.
Lord, make me an instrument of Thy peace; Where there is hatred, let me sow love; Where there is injury, pardon; Where there is error, the truth; Where there is doubt, the 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.

Deus meus, ex toto corde poenitet me omnium meorum peccatorum, eaque detestor, quia peccando, non solum poenas a Te iuste statutas promeritus sum, sed praesertim quia offendi Te, summum bonum, ac dignum qui super omnia diligaris.
