Where there is hatred, may I bring love.

Where there is offence, forgiveness.

Where there is doubt, faith.

Where there is desperation, may I bring hope.

Where there is sadness, let me bring joy.

Allow me to console, rather than be consoled.

To understand, rather than be understood.

To love, rather than be loved.

Because giving is receiving.

Because it is in forgiving that we are forgiven.

It is in dying that we are born into eternal life.
