This poem I copied from Elezabeth-Bryer Hospital in Ottawa.
Mary knoll blessing
May you listen deeply, cherishing the richness of voices - soft and strong.
May you never weaver in your pursuit of justice, giving yourself in risk, creativity and thoughtfulness.
May you love god with everything in your heart - be it gladness or doubt, fear or playfulness.
May you love deeply the peoples in your walk.
May they love you.
May you live with a spirit of forgiveness, mending what is broken and bridging what is separate.
May you know your weakness and reverence them as special ways to God's tenderness.
May you remember all the loved ones who have helped fashion your life story.
May you take the sadness in your heart and hold them lightly 'till compassion is born- then may you give your compassion away.
Go gently and joyfully in a spirit of truth, as a witness of god's love.
May God watch over you, Jesus walk with you, and the spirit give you courage.
Go to all the ends of the earth and give life.
