“May God bless you with a restless discomfort about easy answers, half-truths and superficial relationships, so that you may seek truth boldly and love deep within your heart. May God bless you with holy anger at injustice, oppression, and exploitation of people, so that you may tirelessly work for justice, freedom, and peace among all people. 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. May God bless you with enough foolishness to believe that you really can make a difference in this world, so that you are able, with God’s grace, to do what others claim.” -The Franciscan Blessing

“Sometimes the idea of living as a hermit appeals to all of us.  No demands, no needs, no pain, no disappointments.  But that is because we have been hurt, or worn out.  In our heart of hearts, that place where we are most ourselves, we don’t want to run away for very long.  Our lives were meant to be lived with others.  As echoes of the Trinity, we remember something.  Made in the image of a perfect relationship, we are relational to the core of our beings and filled with a desire for transcendent purpose.  We long to be an irreplaceable part of a shared adventure.”
