Prayer for Respect

Father God

Open our eyes to value and appreciate all people.

Help us to recognise what we have in common and respect what makes each of us unique.

Amen

 

Prayer of St Francis of Assisi

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace;

where there us hatred, let me sow your love;

where there is injury, pardon;

where there is doubt, faith;

where is despair, hope;

where there is darkness, light;

where there is sadness, joy.

O divine Master, 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 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.

Amen
