"The Prayer of St Francis" --- Together Let Us Pray

The "Prayer of St. Francis" is a beloved Christian invocation embodying selflessness and compassion. Beginning with "Lord, make me an instrument of your peace," it asks to bring love, pardon, faith, hope, light, and joy to others. The prayer emphasizes the paradoxical nature of spiritual growth, suggesting that by giving, we receive, and by self-sacrifice, we gain eternal life. Though its authorship is debated, it captures the essence of Franciscan spirituality and serves as a widely-used guide for Christian living, reminding believers of their call to be peacemakers in the world. 🙏 Welcome to "Together Let Us Pray" 🙏 Together Let Us Pray is an extension of our main prayer channel, @TheCatholicCrusade, offering more ways to grow in faith as a community, where we come together as a community to lift our hearts in prayer.

O divine Master, grants 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 that we are born to eternal life.
