Passage: 12 “And now, Israel, what does the LORD your God require of you,but to fear the LORD your God,to walk in all his ways,to love him,to serve the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul,13 and to keep the commandments and statutes of the LORD,which I am commanding you today for your good?14 Behold, to the LORD your God belong heaven and the heaven of heavens,the earth with all that is in it.15 Yet the LORD set his heart in love on your fathers and chose their offspring after them,you above all peoples, as you are this day.”(Deuteronomy Song:Instrument of Peace by Isaac Wardell, Jessica Fox, Liz Vice, Orlando Palmer, and Paul ZachLyrics:Lord make meAn instrument of peaceAn instrument of peaceWhere is there hatred let me sow loveWhere there is darkness let me sow lightFor in the giving we shall receiveAnd in the dying we’re given lifeLord make meAn instrument of peaceAn instrument of peaceWhere there is sorrow let me sow hopeWhere there is doubt let me sow faithWhere is injury your pardon giveYour consolation to those in painLord make meAn instrument of peaceAn instrument of peace Prayer: 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;Where there is sadness, joy.O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seekTo 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.Amen.-A prayer attributed to St. Francis (ca. 1181–1226) of Assisi, Italy
