Oración de Paz - de San Francisco

O Dios, haz de me instrumento de tu paz

Donde haya odio, siembre yo amor;

Donde haya injuria, perdón

Donde hay duda, fe;

Donde hay desaliento, esperanza

Donde haya sombra, luz;

Donde haya tristeza, alegría

Divino maestro, concédeme que no busque

Ser consolado sino consolar;

Ser comprendido sino comprender

Ser amado sino amar;

Porque dando es que recibimos;

Perdonando es que tu nos perdonas

Y muriendo en ti es como nacemos a vida eterna.

Amen
