A City Set on a Hill

You are the light of the world.  A city set on a hill cannot be hidden; Matthew 5:14

Prayer of St. Francis of Assisi

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.

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 giving that we receive;

it is pardoning that we are pardoned;

and it is dying that we are born to eternal life.
