May God bless you with a restless discomfort about easy answers, half-truths and superficial relationships, so that you may seek truth boldly and love deep within your heart. May God bless you with holy anger at injustice, oppression, and exploitation of people, so that you may tirelessly work for justice, freedom, and peace among all people. May God bless you with the gift of tears to shed with those who suffer from pain, rejection, starvation, or the loss of all that they cherish, so that you may reach out your hand to comfort them and transform their pain into joy. May God bless you with enough foolishness to believe that you really can make a difference in their world, so that you are able, with God’s grace, to do what others claim cannot be done. This prayer of benediction written by the Benedictine Sr Ruth Fox, OSB, formed the conclusion of the sermon by Father Michael Lapsley, SSM, at the closing prayer gathering of the 10 th Assembly of the WCC in Busan, Republic of Korea. 1 After ten days of exhilarating and inspiring fellowship of Christians from all corners of the world, these were apt words, blessing and motivating our return to the villages, cities, communities, and churches from which we came to be the catalysts for a healed world. Lapsley’s sermon was testimonial to the courage, generosity, compassion, and accom- paniment that the gospel of Jesus engenders among his followers.
