Prayer of Saint Francis

The so-called Prayer of Saint Francis, also known as the Peace Prayer or Make Me an Instrument of Your Peace, is a widely known Christian prayer. Often wrongly attributed to the 13th-century saint Francis of Assisi, the prayer in its present form cannot be traced back further than 1912, when it was printed in Paris in French, in a small spiritual magazine called ''La Clochette'' (The Little Bell), published by ''La Ligue de la Sainte-Messe'' (The League of the Holy Mass). The author's name was not given, although it may have been the founder of ''La Ligue,'' Fr. Esther Bouquerel.〔
A professor at the University of Orleans in France, Dr. Christian Renoux, published a study of the prayer and its history in French in 2001.
Around 1920, a French Franciscan priest printed the prayer on the back of an image of St. Francis, without attribution.〔 The prayer has been known in the United States since 1927, when its first known English translation (possibly still under copyright today) appeared in the Quaker magazine ''Friends' Intelligencer'' under the mistaken title "A prayer of St. Francis of Assissi". Senator Albert W. Hawkes and the saint's namesake Cardinal Francis Spellman distributed millions of copies of the prayer during and just after World War II.〔
The prayer has similarities to this saying of Blessed Giles of Assisi, one of the companions of St. Francis:
==Text and translation==

"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;
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;
It is in dying to self that we are born to eternal life."〔

(Many other English versions exist.)
