A Franciscan Benediction

I recently got a hold of Charlie Hall's CD Flying into Daybreak. I saw him and his band performing a few weeks ago in front of 3,000+. His words and music have moved me spiritually and drawn me closer to Jesus.

In addition to the great music, I was also taken by a Francisan Benediction he includes within the CD insert--thoughtfully and spiritually provoking. Check it out...

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