Lord, make me an instrument of your 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

  • -- Saint Francis of Assisi 阿西西的圣方济各

耶和华阿,求你使我作你平安的器皿。哪里有仇恨,就让我播下爱的种子;哪里有伤害,哪里就宽恕;哪里有怀疑,哪里就有信仰;哪里有绝望,哪里就有希望;哪里有黑暗,哪里就有光明;哪里有悲伤,哪里就有快乐
