I remember when i was in the choir team, back on university (Petra surabaya), we're once singing this song, its the prayer of St. Franciss of Assisi from 13th century. Lately i've been reminding again about this prayer. Entering the 40days fasting and prayer, this unselfish-prayer has really brought up the desire of God's heart..
This is my prayer too...
Lord, make me an instrument of Thy 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;
and 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.
Amen.
