A Four-fold Franciscan Blessing
"May God bless you with a restless discomfort about easy answers,half-truths and superficial relationships, so that you may seek truthboldly and love deep within your heart.
May God bless you with holy anger at injustice, oppression, andexploitation of people, so that you may tirelessly work for justice,freedom, and peace among all people.
May God bless you with the gift of tears to shed with those who sufferfrom pain, rejection, starvation, or the loss of all that theycherish, so that you may reach out your hand to comfort them andtransform their pain into joy.
May God bless you with enough foolishness to believe that you reallyCAN make a difference in this world, so that you are able, with God’sgrace, to do what others claim cannot be done.
And the blessing of God the Supreme Majesty and our Creator, JesusChrist the Incarnate Word who is our brother and Saviour, and the Holy Spirit, our Advocate and Guide, be with you and remain with you, this day and forevermore. AMEN."
