May God bless you with a restless discomfort
\nabout easy answers, half-truths and superficial relationships,
\nso that you may seek truth boldly and love deep within your heart.<\/p>\n
May God bless you with holy anger at injustice, oppression,
\nand exploitation of people, so that you may tirelessly work for
\njustice, freedom, and peace among all people.<\/p>\n
May God bless you with the gift of tears to shed with those who suffer from pain, rejection, starvation, or the loss of all that they cherish, so that you may reach out your hand to comfort them and transform their pain into joy.<\/p>\n
May God bless you with enough foolishness to believe that
\nyou really CAN make a difference in this world, so that you are able, with God\u2019s grace, to do what others claim cannot be done.<\/p>\n
And the blessing of God the Supreme Majesty and our Creator,
\nJesus Christ the Incarnate Word who is our brother and Saviour,
\nand the Holy Spirit, our Advocate and Guide, be with you
\nand remain with you, this day and forevermore.<\/p>\n
AMEN
