[PAA-Discuss] A Season For Nonviolence - Day 23, Feb 21: PRAYER

[Bart Boyce]

The part of the St.Francis Peace Prayer not mentioned here is

Lord, grant that I may seek 
rather to comfort, than to be comforted.
To understand, than to be 
understood.
To love, than to be 
loved.
For it is by 
self-forgetting that one finds.
It is by forgiving that one 
is forgiven.
It is by dying that one 
awakens to Eternal Life.

DAY 23 
Feb. 21: The practice for today is 
PRAYER.  "Prayer from the heart can achieve what 
nothing else in the world can" said Gandhi.  

Begin and end the day with a prayer 
for peace.   Peace begins with me.   
  
Saint Francis of Assisi said it this 
way: 
"..... make me an instrument of 
thy peace.
Where there is hatred, let me 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."         
 
  
Today:  I 
will begin and end the day with a prayer for peace.  When I say goodbye to people, I will say 
"May Peace Prevail on Earth."  I 
will create a space in my home dedicated to prayer for 
nonviolence.
