--------------聖法蘭西斯的祈禱------------ St.Francis of Assisi Prayer
主啊!使我做祢和平之子, Lord,make me an instrument of your peace, 在憎恨之處播下祢的愛, where there is hatred,let me sow love; 在傷痕之處播下祢寬恕, where there is injury,pardon; 在疑慮之處播下信心; where there is doubt,faith; 在絕望之處播下祢盼望, where there is despair,hope; 在幽暗之處播下祢光明, where there is darkness,light; 在憂愁之處播下歡愉。 where there is sddness,joy
喔!主啊,使我少為自己求, O Divine Master,grant that I may not so much seek 少求受安慰,但求安慰人; to be consoled as to console; 少求被了解,但求了解人; to be understood as to understand; 少求愛,但求全心付出愛。 to be loved as to love.
因為在捨去時,我們便有所得, For it is giving that we receive; 在赦免時,我們便蒙赦免, it is in pardoning that we are pardoned; 迎接死亡時,我們便進入永生。 and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.
