“O Lord, make me an instrument of Thy Peace!
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
Where there is injury, pardon;
Where there is discord, harmony;
Where there is doubt, faith;
Where there is despair, hope;
Where there is darkness, light, and
Where there is sorrow, joy.

Oh 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.”

 

  If you happen to be feeling overwhelmed at the moment, unappreciated, neglected, ignored, unloved, unsettled, diminished, disappointed, disillusioned, disgruntled, or just plain dissed, the following words from Saint Francis  — spoken over 800 years ago — may be just what the doctor ordered.

By the way, you don’t have to be a saint to get the value. Just a human being…

  23. First of all I would like to say excellent blog!

    I had a quick question which I’d like to ask if you don’t mind.
    I was interested to find out how you center yourself and clear your head before writing.
    I’ve had difficulty clearing my mind in getting my ideas out there.
    I truly do take pleasure in writing but it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are lost simply just trying to
    figure out how to begin. Any suggestions or hints?

    Many thanks!

    reasonable. But, what about this? suppose you added a little content?
    I ain’t saying your information isn’t solid, however what if you
    added a post title to possibly get folk’s attention? I
    mean And Francis of Assisi said … – Damir
    na divanu is kinda boring. You might look at
    Yahoo’s home page and see how they create article titles to grab people to click.
    You might add a video or a picture or two to grab people excited about what you’ve got to
    say. Just my opinion, it might make your blog a little bit more interesting.
