The Prayer of St. Francis
English
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.
Amen. Spanish
Señor Hazme un instrumento de tu paz.
Donde haya odio siembre yo tu amor.
Donde haya injuria perdón.
Donde haya duda fe,
Donde haya deseperación esperanza;
Donde haya oscuridad déjame traer luz
y Dónde haya tristeza alegría.
Oh divino Maestro, Concédeme que no busque
Ser conolado sino consolar;
Ser comprendido sino comprender;
Ser amado sino amar.
Es dando que recibimos;
Es perdonanado que somos perdonados
y Es muriendo que nacemos a la vida eterna.
Amén.
Mandarin Chinese 主,使我成為你和平之工具,
在憎恨之處播下愛;
在受傷之處播下寬恕;
在怀疑之處播下信心;
在絕望之處播下盼望;
在黑暗之處播下光明;
在憂愁之處播下喜樂;
哦,主啊,
使我少為自己求,
少求被安慰,但求安慰人;
少求被了解,但求了解人;
少求被愛,但求付出愛;
因為,在舍去時我們便有所得;
在赦免時我們便蒙赦免;
在迎接死亡時
我們便進入永生 阿门。
