Lord,
make Pope Francis
an instrument of your peace.
Where there is hatred, let him sow love;
where there is injury, pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
and where there is sadness, joy.
O Divine Master,
grant that he 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 he receives;
it is in pardoning that he is pardoned;
and it is in dying that he is born to eternal life.
Amen

Hi there! I was wondering if you know who wrote this prayer? We would like to use it on a prayer card.
It is the traditional “Prayer of St. Francis.” I simply changed the wording of the traditional prayer from the “first person singular” (me) and the “first person plural” (we) to the “third person singular” (Pope Francis/him), in order to make it into a prayer directly for him.
