I am of no particular faith nor ascribe to any specific religion, but I do believe there is a force greater than we in the Universe that is all encompassing and limitless and can be defined best as pure unconditional Love. I have at times felt disjoined or separated from this Love only to find troubles would soon follow that permeate my life and being. During these troubling times, I take comfort in a little song that I sing to myself. It lifts my spirit, strengthens me, and fills me with resolve. It is a simple little song written so long ago by a a gentle soul named Francesco, or better known as Saint Francis of Assisi. Perhaps you will find it comforting too.

A Hymn by St Francis of Assisi:
 
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:
 
O 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 where 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.
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.
