We wrote to Kairos Communications over the summer asking if there was any possibility that they could help us with the putting together of a video for Youtube that would capture the essence of the song. We received a positive reply almost immediately and shortly after Fr. Finbarr came to visit to discuss possibilities.
We are very grateful to Fr. Finbarr, Seamus and Sebastien and the team at Kairos for the beautiful visual prayer space they have created. It will be available for viewing on YouTube from October 4th, the Feast of St. Francis.

Lord, make me an instrument of Thy peace;
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
Where there is injury, pardon;
Where there is error, the truth;
Where there is doubt, the faith;
Where there is despair, hope;
Where there is darkness, light;
And 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.
