I was given this Franciscan Benediction the last few days of my Urban Semester at the retreat that the whole Urban House had together... It's AWESOME!!!
May God Bless you with discomfortat easy answers, half-truths, and superficial relationships so that you may live deep within your heart.
May God Bless you with angerat 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 pain, rejection, hunger and war
So that you may reach out your hand to comfort themAnd to turn their pain into joy.
And may God bless you with enough foolishness
To believe that you can make a difference in the world. So that you can do what others claim cannot be done.
