Language French

The bearding text that is usually called the Prayer of Saint Francis (or Peace Prayer, or Simple 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), only entirely absent from his writings, the prayer in its present form has not been traced back farther than 1912.[1] Its first known occurrence was in French, in a small-scale spiritual magazine chosen La Clochette (The Little Bell), published by a Catholic organisation in Paris named La Ligue de la Sainte-Messe (The League of the Holy Mass). The author'southward name was non given, although it may have been the founder of La Ligue, Father Esther Bouquerel. The prayer was heavily publicized during both World War I and Globe State of war Two.[two] It has been oftentimes set to music by notable songwriters and quoted by prominent leaders, and its broadly inclusive language has institute appeal with diverse faiths encouraging service to others.[1] [3] [four]

Text [edit]

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

French original: [5]
Seigneur, faites de moi un musical instrument de votre paix.
Là où il y a de la haine, que je mette l'amour.
Là où il y a l'offense, que je mette le pardon.
Là où il y a la discorde, que je mette fifty'wedlock.
Là où il y a l'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 l'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,
car c'est en donnant qu'on reçoit,
c'est en s'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 love.
Where there is offence, let me bring pardon.
Where there is discord, let me bring union.
Where in that location is fault, allow me bring truth.
Where in that location is doubt, let me bring organized religion.
Where there is despair, let me bring hope.
Where in that location is darkness, permit me bring your lite.
Where there is sadness, permit me bring joy.
O Chief, let me non seek as much
to be consoled as to console,
to be understood as to sympathize,
to be loved equally to love,
for it is in giving that i receives,
it is in self-forgetting that one finds,
it is in pardoning that one is pardoned,
it is in dying that one is raised to eternal life.

Franciscan viewpoints [edit]

The Franciscan Order does not include the prayer in its official "Prayers of St. Francis",[6] and a church historian has noted that the phrasing of the showtime half of the text ("allow me...") is atypically self-oriented for Francis:

The about painful moment usually comes when [students] observe 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 equally information technology is on the self, with its constant repetition of the pronouns "I" and "me", the words "God" and "Jesus" never appearing in one case.[7]

Notwithstanding, the prayer has been recommended by members of the Order, while non attributing it 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, & not 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.[ix]

Golden Sayings of Blessed Giles of Assisi

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

Musical settings [edit]

Sebastian Temple (1967) [edit]

The most-prominent hymn version of the prayer is "Make Me a Aqueduct of Your Peace", or simply "Prayer of St. Francis", adapted and fix to a chant-similar melody in 1967 by South African songwriter Sebastian Temple (built-in Johann Sebastian von Tempelhoff, 1928–1997), who had become a Third Club Franciscan. The hymn is an canticle of the Imperial British Legion and is normally sung at its almanac Festival of Remembrance. In 1997, it was function of the Funeral of Diana, Princess of Wales, and was performed by the Irish vocalist Sinéad O'Connor on the Princess Diana tribute album.[12] [thirteen] The hymn was also sung for the religious wedding ceremony ceremony of Prince Albert 2 of Monaco to South African Charlene Wittstock in 2011.[fourteen]

History [edit]

Christian Renoux, a history professor at the University of Orléans, published in French in 2001 a book-length study of the prayer and its origins, clearing upwards much of the defoliation that had accumulated previously.[34] The Franciscan periodical Frate Francesco and the Vatican newspaper Fifty'Osservatore Romano published articles in Italian summarizing the book'due south findings,[4] [35] and Renoux published an online abstract in English at The Franciscan Archive.[1]

La Clochette (1912) [edit]

The earliest known record of the prayer[36] is its advent, as a "cute prayer to say during Mass", in the December 1912 issue of the minor devotional French Catholic publication La Clochette, "the message 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, Begetter Esther Bouquerel (1855–1923).[37]

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

refer to caption

In 1915, Marquis Stanislas de La Rochethulon (1862–1945), founding president of the Anglo-French association Souvenir Normand (Norman Remembrance), which chosen itself "a work of peace and justice inspired by the testament of William the Conqueror, who is considered to exist the antecedent of all the purple families of Europe", sent this prayer to Pope Benedict Fifteen in the midst of World War I.[1] The Pope had an Italian translation published on the front end folio of Fifty'Osservatore Romano on twenty January 1916. Information technology appeared nether the heading, "The prayers of 'Souvenir Normand' for peace", with a jumbled explanation: "'Souvenir Normand' has sent the Holy Male parent the text of some prayers for peace. We have pleasure in presenting in particular the prayer addressed to the Sacred Middle, inspired by the testament of William the Conqueror."[38] On 28 January 1916, the paper La Croix reprinted, in French, the commodity from 50'Osservatore Romano, with exactly the same heading and explanation.[39] La Rochethulon wrote to La Croix to clarify that it was not a prayer of Souvenir Normand; merely he failed to mention La Clochette, the beginning publication in which it had appeared.[iv] Because of its advent in 50'Osservatore Romano and La Croix as a simple prayer for peace during World War I, the prayer became widely known.[1]

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

Effectually 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 Lodge's founder, the inspirational peacemaker from the Crusades era, Saint Francis of Assisi.[1] The prayer was circulating in the United States by Jan 1927, when its offset known English version (slightly abridged from the 1912 French original) appeared in the Quaker mag Friends' Intelligencer, under the misattributed and misspelled title "A prayer of St. Francis of Assissi".[40] [41] The saint's namesake American archbishop and military vicar Francis Spellman distributed millions of copies of the "Prayer of St. Francis" during World War II, and the next year it was read into the Congressional Record by Senator Albert W. Hawkes. As a friar subsequently summarized the relationship between the prayer and St. Francis: "1 can safely say that although he is not the writer, information technology resembles him and would non have displeased him."[42]

Other notable invocations [edit]

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

By religious leaders [edit]

In 1986, Pope John Paul Two recited the prayer in behest bye to the global religious leaders he hosted for the first "World 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";[ane] and in 2013, Pope Francis chose his papal name every bit a tribute to St. Francis, "the human who gives us this spirit of peace".[44]

Female parent Teresa of Calcutta (Kolkata, India) made it part of the morning time prayers of the Roman Cosmic religious institute she founded, the Missionaries of Clemency. She attributed importance to the prayer when receiving the Nobel Peace Prize in Oslo in 1979 and asked that information technology exist recited. It became the anthem of many Christian schools in Kolkata.[4] [45] Southward 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 office" of his devotions.[4]

By political leaders [edit]

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

In 1995, US President Bill Clinton quoted it in his welcoming remarks to John Paul Two, starting the papal visit to accost the United Nations in New York City.[4] Nancy Pelosi quoted the prayer when she became Speaker of the US House of Representatives in 2007,[48] equally did her successor John Boehner when he resigned in 2015.[49] Pelosi invoked it once again at the opening of the evening House session post-obit the Jan half dozen, 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 following his victory in the Balloter College 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 as the "Footstep Eleven Prayer".[52] An abbreviated version of the prayer was sung in Franco Zeffirelli'due south 1972 film about St. Francis, Blood brother Sun, Sister Moon.[21] In Ring Of Brothers (2001), episode six "Bastogne", Eugene 'Doc' Roe recites "Lord, grant that I shall never seek so much to be consoled as to console, to be understood every bit to sympathise, or to exist loved as to honey with all my heart. With all my heart." while praying in a foxhole in the Bois Jacques. A modified segment of the prayer is recited in 1 of the early trailers for the Sylvester Stallone 2008 film Rambo.[53] A modified version of the prayer appears in the song Prayer in the musical Come From Away.[54] Beanie Feldstein sings the prayer in the 2017 picture Lady Bird, set at a Cosmic girls' school.[55] A shortened version appears in the HBO show Deadwood, episode 11, flavour one. And also appears in the CBC Tv set Series Anne with an East, episode 3, flavour 3.[56]

According to vocaliser and guitarist Trey Anastasio from the American rock band Phish, recital of the Saint Francis prayer is an integral function of his pre-concert ritual.
