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 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
- Benediction of St. Francis

Beautiful Kris and right up there with his more famous prayer. (The one that begins "Lord, make me an instrument of thy peace")
Thanks.
Can you imagine if the next time you were asked to offer a prayer, you gave this prayer, by memory?
