FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE

 

The John Michael Scanlon Fund

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace;
Where there is hatred,
Let me sow love;

Where there is injury,
Your pardon Lord;

And where there’s doubt,
True faith in you;

O 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.

And it is in dying
That we are Born to eternal life.

Amen

-Prayer of St. Francis
