Prayer for Compassion

Make Me an Instrument of Your Peace

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,
not so much to be understood as to understand,
not so much to be loved, as to love;
for it is in giving that we receive,
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
it is in dying that we awake to eternal life.

– St. Francis of Assisi

     With no doubt about it, I love compassion. Compassion for others most importantly. The world without reasonable passion would suck. There are some people (myself included sometimes ) that do good acts with the wrong idea behind it. Sometimes I do something not expecting anything out of it, and it filled me with pride (that’s the closest word to it). It’s hard for me to explain. I don’t puff myself up, though.

    I’m sleepy and rambling again. Goodnight!
