"A Non-traditional Blessing" by Sr. Ruth Fox, OSB
May God bless you with DISCOMFORT
discomfort at easy answers, half truths, and superficial relationships, so that you will live deep within your heart.
May God bless you with ANGER
anger at injustice, oppression, and exploitation of people, so that you may work for justice, freedom, and peace.
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 to turn their pain to joy.
May God bless you with FOOLISHNESS
enough foolishness so that you can think you can make a difference in this world, so that you can do the things that others claim cannot be done.
