the franciscan benediction:
"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 from pain, rejection, starvation, 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 this world, so that you can do what others claim cannot be done. amen"

Awesome, ashley! Thanks for sharing!!
i like that a lot! maybe i should become franciscan! or jesuit. i like them too. as long as that's not only for monks, b/c i don't think i'd qualify!
What an awesome prayer that is to pray. I know that God has broken your heart in that way for others. We are praying for you always.
