A Franciscan Benediction and a word from Zack de la Rocha

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 from Pain, Rejection,
Starvation and War,
So that We may reach out Our Hands to Comfort them
and to turn their Pain into Joy.

And may God bless us with enough foolishness...
to Believe that We can Make a
Difference in this World,
so that We can DO what others claim cannot be Done.

Amen


It has to start somewhere It has to start sometime
What better place than here, what better time than now?

All hell can't stop us now!
All hell can't stop us now!
All hell can't stop us now!
