In my "other life", I'm a Roman Catholic Deacon for the Diocese of San Jose assigned to St. Mary Church in Gilroy. If you're curious what a deacon is or why I became one, please feel free to ask!

Make Me an Instrument of Your Peace

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 there is despair, hope; where there is darkness, light; where there is sadness, joy.

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; For it is in giving that we receive; it is in pardoning that we are pardoned; it is in dying that we are born again to eternal life.
