我以前一直也认为中世纪欧洲非常黑暗、教廷十恶不赦,是下面这首歌让我对自己的这个“信念”产生怀疑并开始看些有关中世纪教会、中世纪欧洲的历史资料。这首歌改编自十三世纪天主教神父 Saint Francis of Assisi的一个祷告

Make me a channel of Your peace
Lyrics:
1. Make me a channel of your peace:
Where there is hatred, let me bring you love;
Where there is injury, your healing pow'r,
And where there's doubt, true faith in you.
2. 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.
3. O Spirit, grant that I may never seek
So much to be consolded as to console,
To be understood as to understand,
To be loved as to love with all my soul - .
4. Make me a channel of your peace.
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
In giving to all that we receive,
And in dying that we're born to eternal life.
