The Prayer of St Francis being read by Detective Steven McDonald.
We’ve been honored to work with Steven McDonald over many years spreading the message of forgiveness, nonviolence, and conflict resolution. As we mourn his passing we pray that his witness will live on in our hearts. Here he is sharing the Prayer of St Francis at a service at Woodcrest Bruderhof some years ago.
You can read his full story here:

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.
