May God bless you with discomfort

This is amazing...a juxtaposition of emotions & motivations our culture tries to avoid, but God wishes to use for His good purposes in our lives and the world around us.  Love this!

A Franciscan Blessing:

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 pain,
Rejection, hunger and war,
So that you may reach out your hand
To comfort them and
To turn their pain to 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
To bring justice and kindness
To all our children and the poor.
