Trump doesn’t have a prayer – try this one

How I wish the president of the United States knew and lived by the Prayer of Saint Francis.

“Lord, make me an instrument of your peace. Where there is hatred, let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon. Where there is doubt, faith. Where is despair, hope. Where there is darkness light and, where there is sadness, joy . . .”

Sound too simplistic? Absolutely not. A powerful way to live that could change the world? Absolutely.
