We pray that the students we train and whoever consumes the words we write, the audio files we produce and/or the videos we create assists them in coming closer to embodying the following words written by Francis of Assisi and/or C.S. Lewis. If this happens then we consider our work here at Eternal Concepts as successful.
Francis of Assisi Prayer
Lord,
Make me an instrument of Thy 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,
And it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.
