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 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, to bring justice and kindness to all our children and the poor.
Amen.
Franciscan Benediction

I don't need to say anything else. This sums up my heart right now!
