I LOVE this. I've read that it's a Franciscan Benediction:
May God bless you with discomfort: at easy answers, at 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 into 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.

What a great prayer :) It sure makes you think about what you are praying for.
Glad you like it, MK. I think it's beautiful. :-)
It is a powerful and beautiful prayer that reasonates with a deeper spirituality that lies within and beyond the boundaries of whatever definitions we place on ourselves. Much Love. Sister
Nice!
