The Following Prayer is Very Franciscan, but was written by a Benedictine nun at the end of the last century. Sister Ruth Fox OSB is the author. I think she is a secret Franciscan.........
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 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, to bring justice and kindness to all our children and the poor.
Be Still .....
Once God is known as Father all methods to attain to security, prosperity and assurance in the world are exposed as useless enslavement. If one knows God as Father then there is security about everything. - Wayne Jacobsen.
