Assisi

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.

dear kasper
thank you so much! i chose this sentence of francesco three years ago to repeat as a mantra and find a path in my life. but you are the first i meet that uses the same. thanks because i didn't know how to say it in english.
another thing francesco said was : i'm god's jolly (sono il giullare di dio). now i'm working in this direction.
and you? why you chose this?
