Blessed are you who see it all now. The terrible, beautiful truth that our world, our lives seem irreparably broken. Blessed are you who glimpse reality and don’t turn away. Blessed are you who have worked hard to keep your heart soft. You who live with courage, fixing what is in your reach, praying about what is not, and loving, still. Rejoice and be glad; blessed are you, holy are you.  Rejoice and be glad; yours is the kingdom of God.
