“May
God bless us with discomfort about easy answers, half-truths and superficial
relationships, so we may seek truth boldly
and love deep within our hearts.
May
God bless us with holy anger at injustice, oppression, and exploitation of
people, so we may tirelessly work for justice, freedom, and peace among all.
May
God bless us with the gift of tears to shed with those who suffer pain,
rejection, starvation, or the loss of all they cherish, so we may reach out our
hands to comfort them and transform
their pain into joy.
May
God bless us with enough foolishness to believe we can really make a difference
in this world, so that we are able, with God’s grace, to do what others claim cannot be done.
And
the blessing of God the Supreme Majesty and our Creator, Jesus Christ, the
Incarnate Word who is our Brother and Savior, and the Holy Spirit, our Advocate
and Guide, be with us and remain with us, this Day and forevermore.
Amen.” And amen!
— a Franciscan benediction
