There being no objection, it appears below: Lord, make us instruments of Thy Peace. Where there is hatred, A letter dated *, was received from us sow love. Where there is injury, pardon; Where there is doubt, faith; 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; it is in pardoning that we are pardoned; and it is in dying that we are born to Eternal Life.
