Preghiera di Pace
Peace Prayer of Saint Francis of Assisi

Each year on International Peace Day, the United Nations invite us to join together in a celebration of peace by way of a globally linked network of events and artistic contributions from across the world.
We decided to make a recording of this beautiful Peace Prayer as a contribution.

PREGHIERA DI PACE
Signore, fa' di me un strumento alla tua pace;
Dove e' odio che io porti l'amore.
Dove e' offesa, che io porti il perdono,
Dove e' discordia che io porti l'umione.
Dove e' dubbio che io porti la fede.
Dove e' errore che io porti la verita.
Dove e' disperanzione che io porti la speranza.
Dove e' tristezza che io porti la gioia.
Dove sono tenebre, che io porti la luce.
Maestro, fa che io non min' tanto,
Ad essere consolato quanto a consolare.
Ad essere compreso quanto a compredere.
Ad essere amato, quanto ad amare.
Poiche' donando si riceve.
Perdonando si e perdonati,
Morendo si risuscita a vita eterna.

PRAYER OF PEACE  - Translation
Father, make me a channel of your peace
Where there is hatred, let me bring love,
Where their is injury, let me bring pardon
Where there is discord, let me bring unity.
Where there is doubt, let me bring faith,
Where there is error, let me bring truth.
Where there is despair let me bring hope.
Where there is sadness, let me bring joy.
Where there is darkness, let me bring light.
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.
Morendo si risuscita a vita eterna.
