Prayer of St. 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;
and 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.
As caregivers, teachers and parents its important to have a personal code of values and beliefs. I find the prayer to St Francis a great base to start with the ideals that build a positive family and community environment for our children. I also find great strenght in the Buddahist ideals of Compassion and as my dear often stated "Compassion to strangers is the hardest test of our Faith".
So as a caregiver, parent and Teacher I face each day armed with my tools of faith.
This role we have as caregivers,teachers and parents is one of great responsibility.
"Our highest endeavor must be to develop free human beings who are able of themselves to impart purpose and direction to their lives."
