Step 11

[MajestyJo]

Step Three was my favourite Step, until I got to Step 11. It reinforced my faith, it made me aware of how important it was to have daily contact with my God, it Eleventh Step Prayer of Saint Francis Assisi, made me realize how important it was to be a clear channel, and to give to others and to myself, the Care that only a Higher Power can give.

Prayer 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.
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,
It is in dying...that we are born to eternal life.
