Stand by P

前文說到「小弟極不想在此播種仇恨」，這句話是脫胎自源自著名的聖法蘭西斯的禱文。亞西西的法蘭西斯(St Francis of Assisi，一譯聖方濟或聖方濟各)是13世紀時意大利的修士，被稱為生態環保的守護聖人(patron saint)。我昨晚youTube這首詩歌，意外找到王祖藍主唱的版本。王祖藍是一位香港演員，在無線電視劇同事三分親飾演樓華一角爆紅，王也是一位基督徒。而英語版的Make me a channel of your peace則是戴安娜王妃告別式時詩班所唱的版本。



聖法蘭西斯的禱文

使我作你和平之子
在憎恨之處播下你的愛
在傷痕之處播下你寬恕
在懷疑之處播下信心

使我作你和平之子
在絕望之處播下你盼望
在黑暗之處播下你光明
在憂愁之處播下歡愉

哦　主啊使我少為自己求
少求受安慰　但求安慰人
少求被瞭解　但求瞭解人
少求愛　但求全心付出愛

使我作你和平之子
在赦免時我們便蒙赦免
在捨去時我們便有所得
在死亡時我們便進入永生



Make me a channel of your peace

Make me a channel of your peace,
Where there is hatred let me bring your love,
Where there is injury your pardon Lord,
And where there's doubt true faith in you.

Make me a channel of your peace,
Where there's despair in life, let me bring hope,
Where there is darkness, only light,
And where there's sadness, ever joy.

O 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 with all my soul.

Make me a channel of your peace,
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
In giving to all men that we receive
And in dying that we are born to eternal life.
