pull up a pew

during a meeting today, the prayer of St Francis of Assisi was read out:


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;
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.

i loved the way that it spoke into my life and really challenged me to live my life less for me, and more for the glory of Gods kindgom.

that is all.
