A blessing that can be turned into a personal meditation with Offering the Light of Enfolding Love by Francis of Assisi:
“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 cannot be done.
And
the blessing of God the Supreme Majesty and our Creator, Jesus Christ
the Incarnate Word who is our brother and Savior, and the Holy Spirit,
our Advocate and Guide, be with you and remain with you, this day and
forevermore.”
