Prayer

Okay, so there may just be lots of quotes in my blog for a while. Or maybe it will be a bit more permanent? Anyway, heard this prayer (written by St. Francis of Assisi I believe) at the end of a sermon by Jeremy Jobson. I particularly liked the first 2 stanzas. May it be true for you and 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.
