O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek
to be consoled as to console;

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.
- St. Francis of Assisi

The Prayer of St. Francis of 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.
- although attributed to St. Francis of Assisi,
this prayer first appeared (written in French) in 1912

I breathed a song into the air,
It fell to earth, I knew not where;
For who has sight so keen and strong,

The song from beginning to end,
I found again in the heart of a friend.
- Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

A shack or an open field can be paradise
when shared with a loving family.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie
