a franciscan blessing.
may God bless you with discomfort. discomfort at easy answers, half truths, and superficial relationships, so that you may live deep within your heart. amen.
may God bless you with anger. anger at injustice, oppression and exploitation of people, so that you may work for justice freedom and peace. amen.
may God bless you with tears. 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 turn their pain into joy. amen.
may God bless you with foolishness. 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.
and the blessing of God, who creates, redeems and sanctifies, be upon you and all you love and pray for this day, and forevermore. amen.
world vision is leading a project called relentless acts of justice for lent.
it's a project that calls us into uncomfort so that we may more fully experience someone else's story.
the story of Christ, and of His children that are suffering in our world.
fall into someone else's story.
world vision's relentless acts of justice.
