Lord, make me an instrument of your peace
(Prayer of St. Francis of Assisi)

Where is hatred, love
Where there is injury, pardon
Where there is doubt, faith
Where there is despair, hope
Where there is darkness, light

Oh divine master grant that I may never seek
so much to be consoled as to console
to be understood, as to understand
to be loved, as to love

It is in giving that we receive
It is in pardoning that we are pardon
(lord pardon me)
It is in dying that we receive eternal life

Music inspired by the Costa Concordia Shipwreck

"Sitting on the hull of the ship, we awaited rescue. It was noisy and chaotic at first, but it all soon faded into a strange silence. Cold, hunger, fear.... it was overwhelming. Strangely, I was able to step out of myself a few times and observe myself experiencing these emotions. It was peaceful. Every time I think back to that surreal moment, this beautiful Spanish/Sephardic tune comes swirling in my mind."

Traditional tune arranged by Emily Lau
Performed by The Broken Consort (Jessica Petrus, Emily Lau, Clare McNamara)
