Francis Strikes Gold

This guy knew how to put pen to paper. He hit the mother lode with the piece below, and it's worth a read. Maybe somebody could set it to music and we could make it a hit today. Do you think anyone would buy into it?

Prayer of St. Francis

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow pardon,
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.

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 pardoning that we are pardoned,
and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.
