One of my best and most beautiful friends, Kati Stanford wrote this on my Facebook wall today…she said “This is my current prayer for you, Angie!” I have never heard this prayer before…but I LOVE it. I am yearning for God to pour His spirit over me, granting me everything in this prayer…and this is my prayer for you. I want to thank Kati for sending me this. I love her as a dear old friend and as a sister in Christ and I hope this touches and blesses you as much as it touches and blesses me. 🙂
“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
