Kirtland AFB Chaplain Corps
Today we pause to remember the tragedy of 9/11. We at the 377 ABW Chaplain Corps say a prayer today for those who died in the attacks, responding to the attacks and in it's aftermath. We say a prayer for all those who were, and still are, affected by the attack on our country - those who lost someone, those suffering health effects from recovery operations, all who felt the hurt of such a violent attack.
Prayer of Saint Francis:
Seigneur, faites de moi un instrument de votre paix.
LĂ oĂč il y a de la haine, que je mette l'amour.
LĂ oĂč il y a l'offense, que je mette le pardon.
LĂ oĂč il y a la discorde, que je mette l'union.
LĂ oĂč il y a l'erreur, que je mette la vĂ©ritĂ©.
LĂ oĂč il y a le doute, que je mette la foi.
LĂ oĂč il y a le dĂ©sespoir, que je mette l'espĂ©rance.
LĂ oĂč il y a les tĂ©nĂšbres, que je mette votre lumiĂšre.
LĂ oĂč il y a la tristesse, que je mette la joie.
Ă MaĂźtre, que je ne cherche pas tant
Ă ĂȘtre consolĂ© qu'Ă consoler,
Ă ĂȘtre compris qu'Ă comprendre,
Ă ĂȘtre aimĂ© qu'Ă 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 there is hatred, let me bring love.
Where there is offence, let me bring pardon.
Where there is discord, let me bring union.
Where there is error, let me bring truth.
Where there is doubt, let me bring faith.
Where there is despair, let me bring hope.
Where there is darkness, let me bring your light.
Where there is sadness, let me bring joy.
O Master, let me not seek as much
to be consoled as to console,
to be understood as to understand,
to be loved as to love,
for it is in giving that one 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.
