“the poster read: Lord, make me an instrument of thy peace. Where there is hatred, let me sow love; where there is injury, pardon; where there is doubt, faith; where there is darkness, light; and where there is sadness, joy.

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. —St. Francis of Assisi”
