Blessed be the yearning that brought you here and quickens your
soul with wonder. May you have the courage to listen to the voice of desire
that disturbs you when you have settled for something safe.
May you have the wisdom to enter
generously into your own unease and discomfort to discover the new direction
your longing wants you to take.
May your expressions of love, creativity, and
friendship be equal to the grandeur and the call of your soul.
May your heart never be haunted by ghost
structures of old damage.
May a secret providence nurture and
express your feelings and guide your thought onward and upward to the ways of
freedom, peace, happiness, and new life.
May you know deep in your hearts that we all remain connected
through the love of Christ through his Eucharist and that we will never part
from him or one another.
May the one you long for long for
you. May your dreams gradually reveal the destination of your desire.
May you know the urgency with which God
longs for you. May you come to accept your longing as divine urgency.
May almighty God, the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit bless you and
remain with you forever.
What a beautiful blessing! It is a gentle and inspiring way to start my day. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteI wrote a version of this for my departure from Jordan. I wanted everyone to stay really positive and to look to a bright future.
DeletePerfect for the day and my current study of grace, God's desire for each of us and addiction to whatever.
ReplyDeleteExcellent. I'm glad it is useful. God certainly does desire us urgently.
