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 into joy.
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 Francescan Benediction
