St. Francis...really cool dude

Lord, Make Me an Instrument of Thy Peace. it's this song that we have been singing in Chorale all year, and the text is so freaking beautiful that this song has ended up as my daily devotional. i thought i was pretty clever to turn this amazing piece of music into a prayer, then i found out, that originally it was a prayer, it was later converted into a song. so i did some researching and turns out its the prayer of St Francis. he was a really amazing man, he was in the army twice, was seriously diagnosed with lots of awful disease's,he sold everything he had to restore broken churches, and he took care of people with leprosy. anyway i just thought he seemed like a really cool dude, here is the prayer that inspired all of this:

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;
and 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 forgiving that we are forgiven,
and it is in dying that we are born to Eternal Life.
