​Theme Song 
“Put a Little Love in Your Heart” by Jackie DeShannon
Think of your fellowman
Lend him a helping hand
Put a little love in your heart
You see it's getting late
Oh, please don't hesitate
Put a little love in your heart
And the world will be a better place
And the world will be a better place
For you and me
You just wait and see

Another day goes by
And still the children cry
Put a little love in your heart
You want the world to know
We won't let hatred grow
Put a little love in your heart
And the world (and the world) will be a better place
And the world (and the world) will be a better place
For you (for you)
And me (and me)
You just wait (just wait) and see
Wait and see

Take a good look around
And if you're looking down
Put a little love in your heart
I hope when you decide
Kindness will be your guide
Put a little love in your heart

​And the world (and the world) will be a better place
And the world (all the world) will be a better place
For you (for you)
And me (and me)
You just wait (just wait) and see, 
Wait and see

Put a little love in your heart (repeat and fade away)

Prayer
Prayer of St. Francis of Assisi
​
Lord, make me an instrument of your 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.
Amen.
