And now here is my secret, a very simple secret: It is only with the heart one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye

~ Antoine de Sainte-Exubery in "The Little Prince"

A Franciscan Benediction:

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.



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.



Amen.
