A Prayer Attributed to St. Francis

Lord, make us instruments of your peace.

Where there is hatred, let us sow love; where there is injury, pardon;

where there is discord, union; where there is doubt, faith;

where there is despair, hope; where there is darkness, light; where there is sadness, joy.

Grant that we 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.

Intercessory Fall 2009

By Faith Chatham - September 2009
We pray Father, for those who are lost and bewildered,
For those who are angry and confused,
For those who seek You and those who are running away.
We pray Father, for those who are displaced
and for those who fear being displaced.
We pray for those who are mistaken and for those who are sure.
We pray that your comfort and forgiveness will fill our hearts
and we will comfort and forgive others.
We pray that any Spirit other than your Holy Spirit will be dispelled
from your houses of worship, your people, and your land.
We accept You Father and reach for You
through Your Grace.
Please fill us anew.
May we come together in Your Spirit
to serve and worship and know that as You atone for me,
there is no one beyond your reach.
O Father God, Jesus Christ and Holy Spirit.
Amen.
