Prayer Of Saint Francis

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.

The Biden family wishes to extend their heartfeltappreciation for your continued support and prayers.
