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
truth boldly and love deep within your heart.
May God bless you with holy anger at injustice,
oppression, and exploitation 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 suffer from pain, rejection, starvation, or the loss of all that they
cherish, so that you may reach out your hand to comfort them and transform
their pain into joy.
May God bless you with enough foolishness to believe
that you really CAN make a difference in this world, so that you are able, with
God's grace, to do what others claim cannot be done.
And the blessing of God the Supreme Majesty and our
Creator, Jesus Christ 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
