A Franciscan Benediction
Here is a Benidiction I found that I really like.
"May God bless you with discomfort
at easy answers, half truths, and superficial relationships,
so that you may live deep within your heart.
May God bless you with anger
at injustice, oppression, and exploitaion of people,
so that you may work for justice, freedom, and peace.
May God bless you with tears to shed for those who suffer from pain, rejection, starvation, and war, so that you may reach out your hand to comfort them
and to turn their pain into joy. Any may God bless you with enough foolishness
to believe that you can make a difference in this world,
so that you can do what others claim cannot be done."
