an unordinary prayer...

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 exploitation 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 turn their pain to joy.

And 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

- A Franciscan Benediction
