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 into joy.
And may God bless you with enough foolishness
to believe that you can make a difference in their world,
so that you can do what others claim
cannot be done.
Amen.
Amen.
