Where there is despair, hope. Where there is darkness, light. Where there is sadness, joy. O, Divine Master, 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. In pardoning that we are pardoned. It is in dying that we are born to eternal life. Amen."
