Our Hymn for January 2025 is Make Me a Channel of Your Peace

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’s doubt, true faith in You.

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.
Where there’s despair in life let me bring hope;
Where there is darkness, only light;
And were there’s sadness, ever joy.

Make me a channel of your peace.
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
In giving of ourselves that we receive;
And in dying that we’re born to eternal life.

Written by Sebastian Temple, from the Prayer of St. Francis.
