May God bless us with discomfort, 
at easy answers, half-truths 
and superficial relationships
so that we may live 
deep within our hearts
May God bless us with anger
at injustice, oppression
and exploitation of people
so that we may work for
justice, freedom and peace.
May God bless us with tears
to shed for those who suffer pain,
rejection, hunger and war.
so that we may reach out our hand
and turn their pain to joy.
May God bless us with just enough 
foolishness to believe we can 
make a difference In the world.
