words to live by

O Maitre, que je ne cherche pas tant a etre console qu'a consoler, a etre compris qu'a compendre, a etre aime qu'a aimer...how true these words are in life lessons; learning to love. Translated from the French, "O Divine 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..." St. Francis
