Franciscan prayer.

May God bless you with discomfort...

at easy answers, half-truths and superficials 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 wars, so that you may
reach out to comfort them and turn their pain into 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.

Amen.
