Sadness: 1 willful act of unkindness by anyone means we have all lost the truth we were born express: that we are all created as divine instruments of peace ~ expressions of love / As we spend any time discussing what is ugly..instead of all that is beautiful… we lose the blessing & joy of creating & being active in the next precious moments of heaven on earth when we are indeed…love…we are indeed peace & we are soon to be ever joy!! Soon to have Hope Eternal!
There is no historical evidence that Saint Francis was the author of this prayer, however, his life does reflect the truth of it. 99.9% of "Christians", did you do an authoratative survey or are you guilt of the presumption which you correctly see in the numerous poor examples of Catholic Christian faith.
For those who do not know, this is the Saint Francisco prayer, a Catholic Church doctor. Francisco (Francesco) is one of the most elevated human being ever existed. I apreciate people like O'Connor sing themes like this. It makes a big contrast with the enormous mountain of musical trash that sounds every time...
Well, I don't appreciate some of the actions of Ms O'Connor sometimes, but she is passionate in her politics and religion and can say and do as she likes. Just because she rails against the Church hierarchy doesn't mean that she isn't still inspired by prayer and the religious songs she was likely brought up with.
Let's just listen to what St Francis preaches, not argue about what Christians do or don't do. St Francis isn't responsible for that. His prayer is about loving each other (animals and people), living in compassion and as God wants us to, having faith in Him, trying our best and wanting to live as Jesus asked us to. Appreciate and value this peaceful prayer, let's not argue about who does what, we lose the essence of peacefulness and St Francis's gift if we follow that route. God Bless.
Your percentage is way off, Angel. More Christians practice these admonitions from St. Francis then non-Christians who claim to be peaceful and respectful of those around them.
Where is the stat that Christians don't give back? Who are the few rushed and stayed to aid the hunger, the aids-infected, the oppressed in the third world countries?
The spirit of this should be to "practice", not to "judge"!

been singing this song when i was in the seminary. this is a very special song for me as Oct.4 is my bday which is the feast day of Saint Francis of Asisi. thank u for singing this masterpiece so perfect & wonderful.
How can you reach eternity with so many crossroads? We need to pray for strength , protection and understand. Trough HIS love everything is possible. Sinead is in a dark moment she needs our prayers, so she can find peace in her heart and also ours..
I have heard this performed many times since I first heard Sebastian Temple, the composer of the music and arranger of the lyrics, first sing this back in the late 1960's. Shortly before his death in December 1997 he said that hearing his music at the funeral for Princess Diana touched him deeply.
This is a prayer,a hope, a striving...we all sin & need Gods grace.People will always let you down.God knows this,that's why we have his grace as a free gift....thank God!!!
'Delivered one' assumes, that I, who commented on Sinead's rendition of 'Make Me A Channel of Your Peace' , am a cradle Catholic. I was raised by an atheist, socialist, trade unionist Irish Patriot and the country I was raised in had the same values as Dad. I read the Bible when I was 37, in order to challenge my fundamentalist friends and fell in love with Jesus. In the Catholic Church we hear the Word and have an altar call every day. I am not 'marcporter77' but I don't know how to fix it.
@SimonCU I don't think so much that she was interested in war, I do believe that she is (was) a young lady that was struggling with her inner pain. I also believe she loves Jesus.
@AK8591 But she show hatred towards some ppl directly, which disturbed/shocked many ppl..Her relationship with ppl "not her type" (outcast) is shockin.She can love God but if she doesn't show love to ppl who harmed her/or ppl not her type (outcast) that's bad.Jesus did warm us about religious hypocrites in the Parable of the Good Samaritan - the Levi/High Priest who kept a distant.Her relationship with outcast should be like the relationship of the Samaritan and the Jew as told in the Parable.
@SimonCU You are right, it's true, we should be able to turn the other cheek and to show love even more but it is more difficult to do than to say for the majority, which is why we are sinners. Thank you for your reply. God Bless you. P.S. We need to pray for her ... and each other
Beautiful, this is my favorite Prayer, We use it in 12 step recovery meetings. So, thank you Sinead.for putting it into music with your beautiful voice!! BTW..... havent seen you in a long time....... please come back & sing 4 us. Im sure im not the only that feels this way! love ya, hugs..........K..
The comments about Sinead's voice were not made by marcporter77. It is a YouTube error.
Sinead has a fine voice but there are others who sing 'Make Me A Channel of Your Peace' with more passion. The song is attributed to Catholic St Francis and is directed to God. St. Francis acknowledges that he cannot become peaceful by his own will and that peace begins in the individual. Sinead, unfortunately, has incited hatred against 1.1 billion Catholics. Not peaceful.
@mermaidofsuburbia Christianity is not a religion, it's a relationship with God, so I don't believe you're talking about Christians when you express your opinion.
@mermaidofsuburbia True that 99.9% of Christians practise anti-love.I know many Korean Christians and most of them are fake.They only love themselves and don't want to hang out with people who are not Korean Christians.They have their own religious/social group.It's like a members only cult.I'm a Christian and I can tell you that not many of us will give or receive love to an outcast/people not our type.It's sad..But Mother Teresa's love impresses me..
That was charitable. As logical as saying "99.9% of atheists say this about Christians". Who is in India feeding the hungry? Who started hospitals, universities and schools? Ask the poor in practically every city who shows them charity? The atheist has no moral imperative to help anyone other than themself. The question Jesus asked was "have YOU ever visited those who are sick, fed those who are hungry, clothed the naked".
@bannockking Actually I know of several "atheists" that do give back and help the needy but they don't do it because they are told to, they do it because they want to. It's not just Christians that give back, yes some do. But also Unitarian Universalists give back, and UU's come from every faith background including Atheist.
@mermaidofsuburbia I would hate to believe that...ANY percentage is too much, but I'd still say and believe that your percentages would be off...nonetheless...it is to Christ Himself we must hope...all others are mere humans...
No. 99% of Christians who sing and believe in this song are different from you and other haters. When you ever step a foot in church and can live sinless then you criticize others.
@mermaidofsuburbia I find it astounding that you know 99.9% of Christians. Unfortunately, I'm not one of them....... The people you could be talking about may simply 'think' they know the True Christ... Or they could simply be very new beginners in their faith...... but also remember this, we are all human and failure is part of our makeup..... be a little more forgiving as this song would say "as much to be forgiven as to forgive.....
@mermaidofsuburbia 99.9%? certainly there are more crappy ones than there should be, but it's definitely not 99.9%. not to mention that's a very stupid comment to make. you're essentially saying that all Christians are bad people. disguised in so many words. i'm not a Christian myself or religious at all, but i've known plenty of Christians and 99.9% of them are definitely not bad people. suck my dick.
thank god for lethal protector, we can now be forgiven, who are you to judge and preside on what anyone has done. you should emigrate to the u s a and join the the rest of the righteous psychopaths in the senate. the trouble with the world is, it's filled with people like you, but I forgive you
This is not the best song for Sinead's voice nor for her spirituality. Does she know anything about St. Francis? He was radically Christian. He was the young man who gave up wealth and hedonism for Christ. It is that which makes his legacy endure. Sinead has demonstrated hatred for her roots, and for her Catholic brothers and sisters who make up a sixth of the world's population, who are dying away in Ireland and increasing in Africa and Asia.
Be careful as you judge, lest you be judged in turn, sir. Regardless of what she's done wrong, she's singing a beautiful hymn now, and it's obvious that she's putting her heart into it. Anyone, anyone, can be forgiven for what they've done...you might listen to the lyrics yourself, as she has, and keep them in mind.
@marcporter77 Sinead shows more compassion to her fellow humans than your Pope - she only demonstrates hatred for *abuse*, and rightly so! Her voice uplifts and brings joy to peoples' hearts and she knows full well that the truth will set us free. More than we can say for the Pope ("condoms spreading aids" comes to mind here..)
Anyway, lovely song. It is one of the only hymns I remember from school.
@neoniastarz The Pope showed us how to Love an outcast/a person not your type as shown in the Parable of the Good Samaritan by visitin his assassin in prison.Sinead showed us how to make war with someone she has never met(Pope).I'm not religious but I know the difference between Loving an outcast and making war with someone who never touched/met her personally.The person who abused her was fired and imprisoned.She should visit the person in prison who hurt her.St Francis wrote the song words!
@TheAdrianaaferreira absolutamente nada a ver.... e isso é o tipo de comentário que não se deve fazer nunca, sem ter completa razão, pois não está em erro apenas, mas exercendo a completa estupidez e falta de respeito para a pessoa de quem está falando, vergonhoso seu comentário
@tantawi1992 "In increasing love?" You write a nasty note back, just, what, so you can have the last word? And you sign it "in increasing love." You're chomping for a fight & you sign off with this smarmy, holier-than-thou horseshit? Hypocrite. I have shown you anger, not hatred. There is a crucial difference. You insulted me, you insulted women & you haven't even BOTHERED to talk about the subject of the controversy--that children were being raped by priests. God forgive you. Now piss off.
@tantawi1992 You scorned the Anglicans for "even allowing lesbians" to be priests. Those are your own words. And you apparently feel compelled to lecture me on Catholicism. So yeah, I'm accusing you of liking to lecture women and hating gays. Now bugger off. Go pester the Lord with your narcissism.
@tantawi1992 I'm sure you feel compelled to lecture women. To set us straight. Resist the urge to write back. I'm not interested in a dialogue with you. You have NOTHING to say to me.
@tantawi1992 And now you condescend. Don't you patronize me. God looks after me fine. Take your false charity & try it out on somebody else. Go lecture some other woman about "disrespect and hatred." You damn well did imply that the Catholic Church can do without me, as it values "quality" over quantity. Its right on the page. You also mocked Anglicans for "allowing lesbian priests." Don't like gay people either eh? You wouldn't have liked our Lord either--Jesus loved women & defended women.
@tantawi1992 You call yourself a Christian? A good Catholic? How dare you suggest that I am a lesser "quality" of human being because I think women should be priests. Who are you to look down your nose at me? The Catholic Church is MY church. Why don't YOU leave. And take the misogynist priests with you. And the pedophile priests who shamed and disgraced Catholics across the world. Women are part of "the Catholic narrative" whether you like it or not, you pompous windbag. Shame on you.
This woman is brave & beautiful. The Church betrayed ordinary Catholics when the hierarchy hid the rampant pedophilia of many priests. Sinead was one of the first to stand up & say something. Good for her. In Canada alone, priests raped Indian kids at the residential schools. They destroyed entire communities. Even now, generations later native communities in the North are only beginning to recover from the horror. And still no women priests. To hell with them. We should just say mass ourselves.
@ejscas : Are you kidding? Wasn't the very reason Jesus Christ was crucified was because he spoke out against hypocrisies in the Church and upset the establishment? Yes.
As for criticizing Sinead O'Connor, the song is the Prayer of St Francis - have you listened to the lyrics? I think her version is one of the most beautiful I've heard of my most favourite song. God bless her for making it.
@ejscas Sinead was talking about the sex abuse and the pedophile priests.Everyone understands that now,but for many years she was misunderstood and scorned to a heartbreaking degree.Sinead knew what the priests were doing,but her symbolic acts were not understood by the world.Now we all know.We owe Sinead an apology.And she is a deeply devout Catholic.
Its Beautiful i love st.Francis of Assisi because through passion he experience Jesus most of us when we have are own good Friday we bargain if we do not experience our own good Friday we will never have Easter Sunday in our life.Try to experience though suffering my Bro. & sis.bless u all
This was the "official" hymn of our Catholic high school. St. Francis of Assisi was our patron saint and namesake. We sang it at every school Mass-- thoughtfully and reverently, but not QUITE this slow.
I needed this today. I was actually looking for a different Sinead song - going down a darker road when I stumbled upon this. What a turn around for me, it set me on a path of Hymns which was very uplifting.
I needed this today. I was actually looking for a different Sinead song - going down a darker road when I stumbled upon this. What a turn around for me, it set me on a path of Hymns which was very uplifting.
My Mum used to play this,I grew to love it dearly "Make me a channel of Your peace, where there is hatred, let me bring Your love, where there is injury pardon Lord...O Master grant that I might never seek so much as to be consoled as to be consoled, to be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love with all my soul, make me a channel of Your peace, it is in pardoning that we are pardoned, it is in giving to all men that we receive, & in dying that we are born to eternal life)
surely sinead you dont need the voice enhancement, you used to have such a voice i sense it is still there can even hear it in this version underneath the fluff and patter of the electonics of the mike........
I'm someone who was brought up a catholic but later realised all religions are contradictory. I have no faith but there are hymns I do love that have a special place in my heart due to major points in my life especialy funerals!
@CovKid80 - Someone once said to me, "All the major religions are like the beads on a necklace and the string that holds them together is the thread of truth that runs through them all." Things clicked and I have been seeking and experiencing that eternal and essential truth ever since. It is the truth that all great masters, including Jesus, came to teach. But it is human greed and misunderstanding that built exclusive and devisive religions around those figures and their teachings. Blessings
@TheLadyjazzy1 Sinead O'Connor never left her faith. One could argue her "faith", ne the religious, left her. She's always been in love with catholicism, as well as other faiths, like Rastafarianism.
I have just been to a friends funeral and this was sung there. I had it for my dads funeral, it is a beautiful song and I am leaving instructions when I go I would like this and Going Home sang at my funeral.
What people don't seem to remember, Sinead knew about the abuse in Ireland long before the Catholic Church come forward and apologized for it and tried to fix it. She done that in the 90s yet its only been in the last 2 years the Church has listened. I am not dissing the Church because I love the Catholic Church but I understand Sinead's actions. And smart if you knew something that was being ignored by the Catholic Church wouldn't you also be unhappy.
@Slippergirl the Catholic church is not out of touch, it is the people that are out of touch with the teachings of Christ our Lord! Thanks be to God for our Lord Jesus Christ!!
@vonniep07 Once one is catholic one is always catholic even judgmental people are people of God. Each one's journey is not identical. The Holy One speaks to each heart. There an old Bible Scripture- Judge not or you might find yourself judged. Safe Journey
@Evolvednotcloned -if you realize the catholic church is off teaching a emphasis on salvation through works you are not always a catholic but someone who is born from above like the gospel of joh n chapter 3 verse 3 states
Yes, on John 3:3. To my mind a good person does right actions and tries to practice kind acts. No mandate necessary only the nudge of the Spirit, akin to a parent reminding a child to say please or thank you.

Did he not defy with great physical exertion those who indignified the Synagogue, by turning their tables over and driving them out?
There is much error in the RC church and inculcation from birth does not a truthful religion make.

Be careful as you judge, lest you be judged in turn, sir. Regardless of what she's done wrong, she's singing a beautiful hymn now, and it's obvious that she's putting her heart into it. Anyone, anyone, can be forgiven for what they've done...you might listen to the lyrics yourself, as she has, and keep them in mind.

@marcporter77 Sinead shows more compassion to her fellow humans than your Pope - she only demonstrates hatred for *abuse*, and rightly so! Her voice uplifts and brings joy to peoples' hearts and she knows full well that the truth will set us free. More than we can say for the Pope ("condoms spreading aids" comes to mind here..)
Anyway, lovely song. It is one of the only hymns I remember from school.

@neoniastarz The Pope showed us how to Love an outcast/a person not your type as shown in the Parable of the Good Samaritan by visitin his assassin in prison.Sinead showed us how to make war with someone she has never met(Pope).I'm not religious but I know the difference between Loving an outcast and making war with someone who never touched/met her personally.The person who abused her was fired and imprisoned.She should visit the person in prison who hurt her.St Francis wrote the song words!

@tantawi1992 "In increasing love?" You write a nasty note back, just, what, so you can have the last word? And you sign it "in increasing love." You're chomping for a fight & you sign off with this smarmy, holier-than-thou horseshit? Hypocrite. I have shown you anger, not hatred. There is a crucial difference. You insulted me, you insulted women & you haven't even BOTHERED to talk about the subject of the controversy--that children were being raped by priests. God forgive you. Now piss off.

@tantawi1992 You scorned the Anglicans for "even allowing lesbians" to be priests. Those are your own words. And you apparently feel compelled to lecture me on Catholicism. So yeah, I'm accusing you of liking to lecture women and hating gays. Now bugger off. Go pester the Lord with your narcissism.

@tantawi1992 And now you condescend. Don't you patronize me. God looks after me fine. Take your false charity & try it out on somebody else. Go lecture some other woman about "disrespect and hatred." You damn well did imply that the Catholic Church can do without me, as it values "quality" over quantity. Its right on the page. You also mocked Anglicans for "allowing lesbian priests." Don't like gay people either eh? You wouldn't have liked our Lord either--Jesus loved women & defended women.
mightymissk 10 months ago
@tantawi1992 You call yourself a Christian? A good Catholic? How dare you suggest that I am a lesser "quality" of human being because I think women should be priests. Who are you to look down your nose at me? The Catholic Church is MY church. Why don't YOU leave. And take the misogynist priests with you. And the pedophile priests who shamed and disgraced Catholics across the world. Women are part of "the Catholic narrative" whether you like it or not, you pompous windbag. Shame on you.

This woman is brave & beautiful. The Church betrayed ordinary Catholics when the hierarchy hid the rampant pedophilia of many priests. Sinead was one of the first to stand up & say something. Good for her. In Canada alone, priests raped Indian kids at the residential schools. They destroyed entire communities. Even now, generations later native communities in the North are only beginning to recover from the horror. And still no women priests. To hell with them. We should just say mass ourselves.

@ejscas : Are you kidding? Wasn't the very reason Jesus Christ was crucified was because he spoke out against hypocrisies in the Church and upset the establishment? Yes.
As for criticizing Sinead O'Connor, the song is the Prayer of St Francis - have you listened to the lyrics? I think her version is one of the most beautiful I've heard of my most favourite song. God bless her for making it.
Tingle202 10 months ago 2
@ejscas Sinead was talking about the sex abuse and the pedophile priests.Everyone understands that now,but for many years she was misunderstood and scorned to a heartbreaking degree.Sinead knew what the priests were doing,but her symbolic acts were not understood by the world.Now we all know.We owe Sinead an apology.And she is a deeply devout Catholic.

This was the "official" hymn of our Catholic high school. St. Francis of Assisi was our patron saint and namesake. We sang it at every school Mass-- thoughtfully and reverently, but not QUITE this slow.
Still, very beautiful.

@CovKid80 - Someone once said to me, "All the major religions are like the beads on a necklace and the string that holds them together is the thread of truth that runs through them all." Things clicked and I have been seeking and experiencing that eternal and essential truth ever since. It is the truth that all great masters, including Jesus, came to teach. But it is human greed and misunderstanding that built exclusive and devisive religions around those figures and their teachings. Blessings

What people don't seem to remember, Sinead knew about the abuse in Ireland long before the Catholic Church come forward and apologized for it and tried to fix it. She done that in the 90s yet its only been in the last 2 years the Church has listened. I am not dissing the Church because I love the Catholic Church but I understand Sinead's actions. And smart if you knew something that was being ignored by the Catholic Church wouldn't you also be unhappy.
