I feel sorrow that i will never get to meet Hugh in person. Although we never met, he touched my life in a way that i can't really describe.
I posted this prayer of saint francis of assisi (i think it's one of his) on my wordpress blog about Hugh earlier. But not everyone visits that site. So here it is:
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;
It is in dying to self that we are born to Eternal Life.
Amen.
