On the Feast of St. Francis


4 comments:

  1. A blessing from St Francis, on his feast day

    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
    To turn their pain to joy

    And may God bless you
    With enough foolishness
    To believe that you can
    Make a difference in the world,
    So that you can do
    What others claim cannot be done
    To bring justice and kindness
    To all our children and the poor.

    Amen

  2. Our first day of winter coat weather. Cold and windy.

    listener, try putting "savory muffin recipes" in a search engine. allrecipes.com has 30 of them. A few of them are actually healthy to eat, but I'm sure all of them taste good..... Well okay, maybe most of them?
