PRAY:

Ask God to show you the work he wants you to do in this city, then sit in silence for 1 minute. Write in your journal anything he brings to mind. Then close by praying, out loud or silently, this prayer of Saint Francis:

Peace Prayer of Saint Francis of Assisi:

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace:
where there is hatred, let me sow love;
where there is injury, pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there 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.
