Francis of Assisi


"Preach the gospel at all times. If necessary, use words".

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace;
where there is hatred, let me sow love;
when 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.
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've always loved that quote.

When I went to see Brennan Manning a couple of years ago, he ended one of his sessions with that quote before going to benediction.

Great stuff
