Prayer of St Francis - addenda

Willie Apap - St Francis of Assisi
Continuing on the familiar prayer of St Francis ‘Make me an Instrument of your Peace,’ I added a few more phrases which I share with you today.....
Where there is disagreement, let me create a consensus.
Where there is impatience, let me create tolerance.
Where there is egoism, let me show altruism.
Where there is indifference, let me show genuine interest.
Where there is division, let me bring in unity and peace.
Where there is competition, let me create a sense of teamwork.
Where there is cheating, let me create a spirit of honesty.
Where there is discouragement, let me spread encouragement.
Where there is confusion, let me bring in order.
Where there is struggle, let me add perseverance.
Where there is loneliness, let me bring in companionship.
Where there is seriousness, let me bring in a sense of humor.
Where there is spiritual apathy, let me show commitment, prayer-fullness and devotion.
