School prayer
O my Lord,
Teach me to be kind and generous to all
Enlighten my mind to
understand everything clearly,
Teach me to serve you as you deserve,
To give more and not to count the cost
To fight and not to heed the wounds,
To toil and not to seek for rest.
To labour and not to ask for any reward
except that of knowing that I do,
Your will,O my God.
--- St. Ignatius of Loyola
Make me a channel of your peace
Where there is hatred let me bring your love
Where there is injury, your pardon Lord
And where there is doubt true faith in You
Make me a channel of your peace
Where there is despair in life let me bring hope
Where there is darkness only light
And where there's sadness ever joy
Oh, Master grant that I may never seek
So much to be consoled as to console
To be understood as to understand
To be loved as to love with all my soul
Make me a channel of your peace
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned
It is in giving to all men that we receive
And in dying that we are born to eternal life
