"Lord, make me an instrument . . ."

Did anyone happen to record the priest's re-wording of the famous prayer? I wanted to write it down, but by the time I'd organized pen and paper he was already done.

Edit to add, this was at the Pelosi portrait unveiling.

TIA

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; it is in dying that we are born again to eternal life.

But the priest delivered another version that began with something like "make me an instrument of your disruption" and went on from there. It was really thought provoking.
