Instrument of Peace

By G C Smith

Instrument of Peace invites readers to move beyond reciting a beloved prayer into embodying it in daily life. In a world marked by division, violence, and moral strain, this book explores what it means to become a bearer of peace when peace feels fragile or absent. Drawing from real-world experiences--especially in contexts of disaster, suffering, and human conflict--the book reframes the Prayer of St. Francis not as idealistic poetry but as a demanding, lived practice. Each line becomes a pathway: from hatred to love, from injury to forgiveness, from despair to hope. The purpose of this book is twofold: to deepen spiritual formation and to offer practical guidance for those seeking to live faithfully amid brokenness. It equips readers--caregivers, leaders, responders, and everyday people alike--to act with courage, compassion, and integrity. Ultimately, this book asks a simple but profound question: What would it look like not just to pray for peace, but to become it?
