Men who look upon themselves born to reign, and others to obey, soon grow insolent;selected from the rest of mankind their minds are early poisoned by importance; and the world they act in differs so materially from the world at large, that they have little opportunity of knowing its true interests, and when they succeed to the government are frequently the most ignorant and unfit of any throughout the dominions.

Peace Prayer of St. Francis of Assisi

Lord, make me an in-

strument 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;

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.
