looking at different readings i might use for my wedding ceremony.
i like this one A LOT, it will probably make it into the service--
THE PRAYER
~ By St. Francis of Assisi ~
Lord, make
us instruments of your peace.
Where there is hatred, let us sow love;
Where there is injury, pardon;
Where there is discord, union;
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 we 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

Cool! St. Francis was one of the most badass monks there were. To be rich, give up everything and then hang out with the animals... now that's a real man :-P
