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
