29th October, 2013 Reflection May God bless us with discomfort at easy answers, half-truths, and superficial relationships, so that we may live deep within our hearts. ALL: We are called to love. May God bless us with anger at injustice, oppression, and exploitation of people, so that we may work for economic justice for all people. ALL: We are called to be just. May God bless us with tears to shed for those who suffer from pain, hunger, homelessness and rejection, so that we may reach out our hand to comfort them and to turn their pain into joy. ALL: We are called to compassionate action. And may God bless us with enough foolishness to believe that we can make a difference in the world so that we can do what others claim cannot be done. ALL: We are called to serve the poor. AMEN. (taken from the Marianist Social Justice Collaborative)
