Thanks be to God

Lord, make me a beautiful instrument of your peace.
where there is worry, let me bring comfort;
where there is fear; let me bring relief;
where there is sorrow; let me bring joy;
where there is evil; let me bring light;

father,
grant that I may know you and love you and follow you always
to be your hands and feet, giving of myself for the grace
of your blessing
to know your love without doubt;
to walk without having been shown the way;
I know you are there and I will follow; and the way will become clear as you would have it be;
It is in this life that I am destined to death, and in this death that I am reborn into eternal life.
