"If a commission by an earthly king is considered an honor, how can a commission by a Heavenly King be considered a sacrifice?"

May God bless you. . .

"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 from pain, rejection, starvation, and war, so that you may reach out your hand to comfort them and to turn their pain in to joy.

And may God bless you with enough foolishness to believe that you can make a difference in this world, so that you can do what others claim cannot be done."

-Franciscan Prayer

    Wow, I like that prayer, especially the last part, to be given enough foolishness to believe that you can make a difference in this world. . . Praying for you Maria!
