Prayer of the week

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 pain, rejection, hunger, and war, so that you may reach out your hand to comfort them and turn their pain into joy. And may God bless you with enough foolishness to believe that you can make a difference in the world, so that you do what others claim cannot be done, to bring justice and kindness to all our children and the poor. Amen

I continue to follow the events in the Middle East with concern. I once again call for an immediate ceasefire on all fronts. The paths of diplomacy and dialogue must be pursued to achieve peace.
