St. Francis Prayer in Reverse

There’s one thing about this I would have changed had I written it —-

Dear Lord, make me a channel of disturbance.

Where there is apathy, let me provoke,
where there is compliance, let me bring questioning,
where there is silence, may I be a voice.

Where there is too much comfort
and too little action, grant disruption.

Where there are doors closed and hearts locked,
grant me the willingness to listen.

When laws dictate and pain is overlooked..
when tradition speaks louder than need…
grant that I may seek rather to do justice
than to talk about it.

Disturb us, O Lord,
to be with, as well as for the alienated;
to love the unlovable as well as the lovely,
Lord make me a channel of disturbance.

— Amen?

And here’s what I would’ve changed: not just “disturbance” but “Your disturbance”
