The anonymous text that is usually called the Prayer of Saint Francis (or Peace Prayer, or Unproblematic Prayer for Peace, or Make Me an Instrument of Your Peace) is a widely known Christian prayer for peace. Often associated with the Italian Saint Francis of Assisi (c.  1182 – 1226), but entirely absent from his writings, the prayer in its nowadays course has not been traced dorsum further than 1912.[ane] Its first known occurrence was in French, in a small spiritual magazine chosen La Clochette (The Little Bell), published by a Cosmic organization in Paris named La Ligue de la Sainte-Messe (The League of the Holy Mass). The author'due south name was non given, although it may take been the founder of La Ligue, Father Esther Bouquerel. The prayer was heavily publicized during both World War I and World War 2.[2] It has been frequently set to music by notable songwriters and quoted by prominent leaders, and its broadly inclusive language has establish appeal with various faiths encouraging service to others.[one] [3] [four]

Text [edit]

In most of the published versions of the prayer, the text is abridged, paraphrased or copyrighted. Below is the complete original text from its primeval known publication (1912, in French, copyright expired), alongside a line-by-line English language translation.

French original: [5]
Seigneur, faites de moi un instrument de votre paix.
Là où il y a de la haine, que je mette l'flirtation.
Là où il y a l'offense, que je mette le pardon.
Là où il y a la discorde, que je mette l'union.
Là où il y a fifty'erreur, que je mette la vérité.
Là où il y a le doute, que je mette la foi.
Là où il y a le désespoir, que je mette fifty'espérance.
Là où il y a les ténèbres, que je mette votre lumière.
Là où il y a la tristesse, que je mette la joie.
Ô Maître, que je ne cherche pas tant
à être consolé qu'à consoler,
à être compris qu'à comprendre,
à être aimé qu'à aimer,
auto c'est en donnant qu'on reçoit,
c'est en southward'oubliant qu'on trouve,
c'est en pardonnant qu'on est pardonné,
c'est en mourant qu'on ressuscite à l'éternelle vie.

English translation:
Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.
Where in that location is hatred, let me bring dear.
Where at that place is offence, permit me bring pardon.
Where at that place is discord, let me bring matrimony.
Where there is error, let me bring truth.
Where there is doubt, let me bring faith.
Where there is despair, let me bring promise.
Where there is darkness, let me bring your calorie-free.
Where there is sadness, let me bring joy.
O Master, let me not seek as much
to be consoled as to panel,
to be understood as to understand,
to be loved as to honey,
for information technology is in giving that i receives,
information technology is in self-forgetting that i finds,
it is in pardoning that one is pardoned,
it is in dying that i is raised to eternal life.

Franciscan viewpoints [edit]

The Franciscan Order does not include the prayer in its official "Prayers of St. Francis",[vi] and a church historian has noted that the phrasing of the first half of the text ("let me...") is atypically self-oriented for Francis:

The most painful moment usually comes when [students] discover that Saint Francis did not write the "Peace Prayer of Saint Francis"... Noble as its sentiments are, Francis would not have written such a piece, focused as it is on the self, with its constant repetition of the pronouns "I" and "me", the words "God" and "Jesus" never actualization in one case.[7]

Nonetheless, the prayer has been recommended by members of the Social club, while not attributing information technology to Saint Francis.[8]

It has been noted that the second half of the prayer has similarities to this saying of Giles of Assisi (c. 1190 – 1262), one of the saint's close companions:

Aurea Verba Beati Aegidii Assiensis

Beatus ille qui amat, & non-deſiderat amari:
beatus ille qui timet, & non deſiderat timeri:
beatus ille qui ſervit, & non deſiderat ſibi ſerviri:
beatus ille bene ſe gerit erga alios, et non ut alii ſe bene gerant erga ipſum:
& quia hæc magna ſunt, ideo ſtulti ad ea non attingunt.[nine]

Gilded Sayings of Blest Giles of Assisi

Blest is he who loves and does not therefore desire to exist loved;
Blest is he who fears and does non therefore desire to be feared;
Blessed is he who serves and does not therefore desire to be served;
Blessed is he who behaves well toward others and does not desire that others conduct well toward him;
And because these are great things, the foolish do not rise to them.[10]

Musical settings [edit]

Sebastian Temple (1967) [edit]

The almost-prominent hymn version of the prayer is "Make Me a Channel of Your Peace", or simply "Prayer of St. Francis", adapted and set to a chant-like melody in 1967 by South African songwriter Sebastian Temple (born Johann Sebastian von Tempelhoff, 1928–1997), who had become a Third Guild Franciscan. The hymn is an anthem of the Majestic British Legion and is usually sung at its annual Festival of Remembrance. In 1997, it was office of the Funeral of Diana, Princess of Wales, and was performed by the Irish gaelic singer Sinéad O'Connor on the Princess Diana tribute album.[12] [13] The hymn was as well sung for the religious wedding ceremony of Prince Albert II of Monaco to S African Charlene Wittstock in 2011.[14]

History [edit]

Christian Renoux, a history professor at the University of Orléans, published in French in 2001 a volume-length study of the prayer and its origins, clearing upward much of the defoliation that had accumulated previously.[34] The Franciscan periodical Frate Francesco and the Vatican newspaper L'Osservatore Romano published manufactures in Italian summarizing the volume's findings,[four] [35] and Renoux published an online abstruse in English at The Franciscan Archive.[1]

La Clochette (1912) [edit]

The earliest known record of the prayer[36] is its advent, as a "beautiful prayer to say during Mass", in the December 1912 effect of the modest devotional French Cosmic publication La Clochette, "the bulletin of the League of the Holy Mass".[5] Although the prayer was published anonymously, Renoux concluded that, with few exceptions, the texts in La Clochette were generally written past its founding editor, Father Esther Bouquerel (1855–1923).[37]

Mistaken attribution (1916) to 11th-century William the Conqueror [edit]

In 1915, Marquis Stanislas de La Rochethulon (1862–1945), founding president of the Anglo-French association Gift Normand (Norman Remembrance), which called itself "a work of peace and justice inspired by the testament of William the Conqueror, who is considered to be the antecedent of all the royal families of Europe", sent this prayer to Pope Bridegroom XV in the midst of Earth State of war I.[i] The Pope had an Italian translation published on the front end folio of L'Osservatore Romano on 20 January 1916. It appeared under the heading, "The prayers of 'Souvenir Normand' for peace", with a jumbled explanation: "'Gift Normand' has sent the Holy Begetter the text of some prayers for peace. Nosotros accept pleasure in presenting in particular the prayer addressed to the Sacred Heart, inspired past the testament of William the Conqueror."[38] On 28 January 1916, the newspaper La Croix reprinted, in French, the article from L'Osservatore Romano, with exactly the same heading and caption.[39] La Rochethulon wrote to La Croix to clarify that it was not a prayer of Souvenir Normand; simply he failed to mention La Clochette, the kickoff publication in which it had appeared.[4] Because of its advent in 50'Osservatore Romano and La Croix equally a uncomplicated prayer for peace during Earth War I, the prayer became widely known.[i]

Mistaken attribution (c. 1927) to 13th-century Saint Francis [edit]

Around 1918, Franciscan Father Étienne Benoît reprinted the "Prayer for Peace" in French, without attribution, on the back of a mass-produced holy card depicting his Order'south founder, the inspirational peacemaker from the Crusades era, Saint Francis of Assisi.[1] The prayer was circulating in the United States past January 1927, when its first known English language version (slightly abridged from the 1912 French original) appeared in the Quaker magazine Friends' Intelligencer, nether the misattributed and misspelled title "A prayer of St. Francis of Assissi".[twoscore] [41] The saint's namesake American archbishop and war machine vicar Francis Spellman distributed millions of copies of the "Prayer of St. Francis" during World State of war Ii, and the adjacent year it was read into the Congressional Record by Senator Albert West. Hawkes. As a friar afterward summarized the human relationship betwixt the prayer and St. Francis: "1 can safely say that although he is non the writer, it resembles him and would not have displeased him."[42]

Other notable invocations [edit]

The Prayer of St. Francis has oft been cited with national or international significance, in the spirit of service to others.

By religious leaders [edit]

In 1986, Pope John Paul Ii recited the prayer in bidding adieu to the global religious leaders he hosted for the start "World Mean solar day of Prayer for Peace", in Assisi at the Basilica of St. Francis.[43] Indeed, the prayer "over the years has gained a worldwide popularity with people of all faiths";[1] and in 2013, Pope Francis chose his papal proper noun every bit a tribute to St. Francis, "the homo who gives u.s.a. this spirit of peace".[44]

Female parent Teresa of Calcutta (Kolkata, India) made it part of the morning prayers of the Roman Catholic religious institute she founded, the Missionaries of Charity. She attributed importance to the prayer when receiving the Nobel Peace Prize in Oslo in 1979 and asked that information technology be recited. It became the anthem of many Christian schools in Kolkata.[4] [45] S Africa'south Anglican archbishop Desmond Tutu, winner of the 1984 Nobel Peace Prize for his not-violent leadership against apartheid, declared that the prayer was "an integral part" of his devotions.[4]

By political leaders [edit]

Margaret Thatcher, after winning the 1979 United Kingdom full general election, paraphrased the prayer on the doorstep of 10 Downing Street, surrounded by a throng of reporters, having "kissed hands" with Queen Elizabeth II and go Prime number Minister.[46] [47]

In 1995, US President Neb Clinton quoted it in his welcoming remarks to John Paul II, starting the papal visit to address the United Nations in New York City.[iv] Nancy Pelosi quoted the prayer when she became Speaker of the US House of Representatives in 2007,[48] as did her successor John Boehner when he resigned in 2015.[49] Pelosi invoked information technology once again at the opening of the evening House session following the January 6, 2021, insurrection and storming of the Capitol. At the 2012 Democratic Convention, Jena Nardella invoked the prayer during the closing Benediction.[50] President-elect Joe Biden quoted the prayer during his speech post-obit his victory in the Electoral Higher on December 14, 2020.[51]

By others [edit]

The prayer is referenced in the Alcoholics Anonymous volume Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions (1953), and is often known to AA members equally the "Step Eleven Prayer".[52] An abbreviated version of the prayer was sung in Franco Zeffirelli's 1972 film about St. Francis, Brother Sun, Sis Moon.[21] In Band Of Brothers (2001), episode six "Bastogne", Eugene 'Doctor' Roe recites "Lord, grant that I shall never seek so much to be consoled equally to console, to be understood as to understand, or to exist loved as to honey with all my centre. With all my middle." while praying in a foxhole in the Bois Jacques. A modified segment of the prayer is recited in one of the early on trailers for the Sylvester Stallone 2008 film Rambo.[53] A modified version of the prayer appears in the vocal Prayer in the musical Come up From Away.[54] Beanie Feldstein sings the prayer in the 2017 movie Lady Bird, set up at a Catholic girls' school.[55] A shortened version appears in the HBO show Deadwood, episode xi, flavour i. And also appears in the CBC TV Series Anne with an Due east, episode 3, season iii.[56]
