WORKOUT WEDNESDAY A Midweek Spiritual Workout with Fr. Marino H. Msigala, OFM Capuchin A FRANCISCAN BENEDICTION May God bless you with discomfort With 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 to comfort them and turn their pain into joy. May God bless you with foolishness To believe that you can make a difference So that you can do what others claim cannot be done To bring justice and kindness to all. May you be so blessed! On this SPIRITUAL WORKOUT WEDNESDAY, bow your head and receive a Franciscan blessing so that you can share it with the world and bestow it upon others.
